A quotation from Ingersoll

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
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

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 often described as a place of eternal separation from God, serving as a final consequence for unrepented sin according to many religious teachings.

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.

👻 Famous atheist philosopher claims to have seen *something* when he was *dead*—because who doesn't love a good ghost story from a guy who devoted his life to saying there's nothing to see? 🚫🧙‍♂️ Apparently, a brush with #pneumonia and the #afterlife turns even the staunchest #skeptics into spiritual storytellers. 🧐📜

Trump Dodges Ghislaine Maxwell...

A quotation from Victor Hugo

It is possible to imagine something more terrible than a hell of suffering, and that is a hell of boredom.
 
[On peut rêver quelque chose de plus terrible qu’un enfer où l’on souffre, c’est un enfer où l’on s’ennuierait.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 2 “Cosette,” Book 4 “The Gorbeau Tenement,” ch. 1 (2.4.1) (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]
