First off, if you really want to read a historical account of the
doctrine plus discussions on current trends in theology, there
isn't a better book available than "Hell Under Fire."

Secondly, life after death is believed by about 98%% of the
world; heaven is believed by about 76%% while hell is believed
by nearly 60%%. A recent pole that was reported on FOX
gave those numbers.

Third, the monolithic human experience of moral "guilt"
needs to be answered if there is no hell, no heaven, no
God. A purely mechanical universe which has all life
evolving from rock, could never produce consciousness,
let alone morality.

No child has to learn "guilt." Even as callous adults,
we still look around when we give into doing those things
that we know are wrong. If you speeding down the highway,
you're look'n for cops, especially if you got a couple of
kilo's of weed in your trunk.

No hell? You can't even consistently live as if there
were no such place. You watch your favorite sports
team on TV and a bogus call is made to give the
other team an edge or a win and you go ballistic. Some
guy cuts you off in traffic only to turn in front of you
with no turn signal. You give the guy the finger. You
purchase gas at the station and then on your monthly
statement you see that someone changed the bill
from $40 to $140. You jump on the phone and start
screaming. etc etc etc

All these and anything other you can think of, illustrate
that there is something within us that feels that there
must be accountability. 911 united our nation to do
whatever it took to get a little reciprocity, pay back.

Where does this moral accountability come from?

Logically, there must be a God and He must hold
accountable the evil committed. i.e. there must
be a hell.

====================================
Logically, you have no idea what logic is.
Logically you are a complete and total fuckhead.
Now get the fuck out of sci.physics, take your
religious crap and shove it up your illogical arse.
