The idea of hell or no hell was raised in the course of the Haiti discussion, and I think it merits a discussion on its own.

This basically sounds like yet another "is there a god or not" threads.
Why? Is an idea of a god inseperateable from the idea of Hell??


As much as I hate to quote Wiki due to its inconsistensies and lack of peer review:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell

Even a cursurery glance through the article will show you the concept is as old as sin itself, and differs depending upon which religion and historical era you study it from.
I know wikepedia like everybody else, thank you. But I am much more interested in what people think on an individual basis. That is why I am asking here, and not doing a research on the net about it.

If my preception of the implication infered from above is correct your question is the same one asked by the philosophical field of ethics.
Well, this is the philosophical list, right?
