Christians have placed upon the throne of the universe a God of eternal hate. I cannot worship a being whose vengeance is boundless, whose cruelty is shoreless, and whose malice is increased by the agonies he inflicts.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator

Hell has been a topic of discussion across various cultures and religions for centuries. Many view it as a place of punishment for the wicked, while others see it as a state of being or separation from the divine. The interpretations vary widely, but the concept remains a powerful part of human belief systems. Understanding these perspectives can deepen our insights into morality and justice. #Afterlife #Philosophy #Religion #Theology #Morality

Hell is not a distant threat; it's a real test of what we claim to know, how we live, and what we fear about truth. In a world of shifting sands, conscience and accountability remain piercingly clear.

I find it fascinating that many cultures envision heaven as a place of peace and reward, reflecting a deep human hope for something beyond this life.

DEATH, GOD, &
A VERY SMALL SPIDER 💎I am increasingly aware that I will leave this world. I don’t know when. I don’t know how. Perhaps within the next decade. Perhaps sooner. Who knows.
And strangely, there is less fear in that now. Most of the fear seems to belong to what I imagine is unknown.
If death is simply the end of Robin and the end of this consciousness, then there will be nobody there to be bothered by it. It will simply be over. And if there is something beyond this life, another realm, another dimension, another form of consciousness, then I suppose I will recognise it when I get there.
I don’t know. And I am quite happy not knowing.
Human beings have created manifold books, religions and pictures of God, spirit, heaven, continuation and eternity. Perhaps some of them point towards something true. Perhaps some are simply beautiful ways of comforting ourselves in the face of death.
But every picture I can make of what comes next is still a picture being made here.
I don’t want to manufacture comfort. I want clarity. I want to meet whatever happens without having already decided what it is supposed to look like.
Maybe there is something. Maybe there is nothing. Either way, reality does not require my opinion.
And while I am sitting here contemplating this enormous mystery, a tiny spider appears beside me. He is absurdly small. I stop, look at him, laugh, and decide he can stay.
And suddenly, there it all is. Death. Consciousness. God. Eternity. And a tiny spider wandering across my morning.
The fire is on. The coffee is good. People are interacting with things I have written. The spider is minding his own business.
Life has not stopped being ordinary just because I know it ends. I rather like that.
None of it means anything until I give it meaning. And this morning, the meaning I choose is very simple.
Gratitude.

FOOL: Good madonna, why mourn’st thou?
OLIVIA: Good Fool, for my brother’s death.
FOOL: I think his soul is in hell, madonna.
OLIVIA: I know his soul is in heaven, Fool.
FOOL: The more fool, madonna, to mourn for your brother’s soul, being in heaven. Take away the fool, gentlemen.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Twelfth Night, Act 1, sc. 5, l. 64ff (1.5 64-70) (1601)More about this quote: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

Often there is a seeming truce between the humanist and the religious believer, but in fact their attitudes cannot be reconciled: one must choose between this world and the next. And the enormous majority of human beings, if they understood the issue, would choose this world. They do make that choice when they continue working, breeding and dying instead of crippling their faculties in the hope of obtaining a new lease of existence elsewhere.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

A quotation from A. E. Kittredge
My friend, there will come one day to you a Messenger, whom you cannot treat with contempt. He will say, “Come with me;” and all your pleas of business cares and earthly loves will be of no avail. When his cold hand touches yours, the key of the counting-room will drop forever, and he will lead you away from all your investments, your speculations, your bank-notes and real estate, and with him you will pass into eternity, up to the bar of God. You will not be too busy to die.
Abbott Eliot "A. E." Kittredge (1834-1912) American clergyman and Presbyterian leader

Go to! Cast dust on those deaf skies, who spurn
Thy orisons and bootless prayers, and learn
To quaff the cup, and hover round the fair;
Of all who go, did ever one return?Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
“Huh! Priests!” said Mr. Shoe. “They’re all the same. Always telling you that you’re going to live again after you’re dead, but you just try it and see the look on their faces!”

So when the end’s near, your brain kicks into overdrive like never before. You may feel more alive at the point of dying than you’ve ever felt before.
Slightly morbid it may be, but this is a very interesting article and well worth a read.

#FuneralFactFriday: Hell Money
The colloquial name for a form of Joss paper (incense paper), printed to resemble legal tender bank notes.
Rooted in Asian culture, the fake currency is burned as an offering to the deceased in hopes of prosperity in the afterlife. Loose bundles are often placed inside caskets prior to cremation.
In this context, Hell represents the afterlife in general and does not have the unpleasant connotation that Western culture associates with it.

The investigation quickly revealed the depth of a New “Lost Cause” narrative that positioned the insurrectionists as freedom fighters who had answered the call of their leader. They had shown up patriotically to “stop the steal,” and thus protect “their” country...

CW: TW mentions death/suicide
Today is the 3rd #anniversary of my grandfather’s death, which came 5 months after the death of my beloved grandmother (I’m estranged from my parents). Two days after my Papa’s #funeral, my dear friend Cliff died - on the very day I was supposed to be taking him to the #oncologist.
I #wrote about that horrible period of my life - about #death and #loss and #love and #grief - in my personal essay in #AfterLife from #Haymarket #Books.
I hope it #helps someone. Anyone.♥️
