Most religions address the afterlife, including some cosmic system of rewards and punishment. Many of these afterlife claims include some place of torture, torment or purging that we might tend to generalize as "hell".

In this lecture, we'll take a tour through a number of different concepts of hell by inspecting the art and literature that have helped spread this ubiquitous meme - even among the secular. While some modern theologians have abandoned claims of a literal hell, others continue to promote views that include lakes of fire and laughing saints. If Christianity and other religions were to die off tomorrow, would the concept of hell slip away as well?

The Atheist Community of Austin (ACA) is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

The Atheist Community of Austin hosts a monthly lecture series as a community service and a means of promoting and disseminating ideas of interest to atheists and the greater Austin community. Lecture topics usually focus on core areas of atheist interest such as science, skepticism, the impact of religion, philosophy, church/state separation, and community activism. While many of our lecturers are PhDs, lectures are targeted to a lay audience of people who want to enrich their understanding.

@brazilian777able Lucifer is an imaginary boogeyman made up by cult leaders who manipulated the gullible, superstitious and dim-witted to exert control over them.

The monster under the bed isn't real, and your parents lied to you.

[brazilian777able]

@ndrthrdr1 lucifer was kickout for "pride" so you did not left the "church" you have been kicked out for unsurbordination. you don't want to follow Jesus....You want to be follow....spirit of pride.. arrogancy is deceiving spirits and you are obeying them without knowing. evil spirits are in business of deceit before you even came into existence. repent and escape while you can. .

[ndrthrdr1]

@brazilian777able

I have read the Bible.. That's how I got a clue and left the cult.

[brazilian777able]

@ndrthrdr1 So you've never read the Bible therefore, you can't have an inteligent conversation so you use the "old" cop out to dismiss a subject that has your life hanging.

[brazilian777able]

@dmnemaine Let me clarify to you. One God did not come to earth to bring "religion" HE came to bring HIS "goverment" HIS system of doing things. HIS constitution is the Bible more specifically the Torah which by the way the "christian" are not educated on it actually are told that "old testament" which is a lie. The only thing done away was the sacrificial system bc Yeshua (Jesus is the Greek name) became the eternal sacrifice.

[ndrthrdr1]

@brazilian777able I have plenty of trouble with the credibility of the Bible. It doesn't pay my light bill in church, because I don't go to one I don't give money to people indoctrinating children into the cult. That's child abuse and should be illegal. Passing off as truth Iron and Bronze Age barbaric tribal myths and fairy stories of a wonderful eternal life - in contrast with the truth of death as real, permanent, and natural - is bizarre and destructive behavior.

[brazilian777able]

@dmnemaine Your born again experience was a figure of your imagination. 1. A born again experience will give you ability to speak in other tongues which is the seal that you have been born again, and is your assurance that you are saved. 2. The definition of the word "Believe" in God's original language which is Hebrew is to OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS! Thus you have no manifestations in your life. In order to change all that 1. repent., 2. Obey the commandments. check Leviticus chapter 23

@ndrthrdr1 Obviously you have a problem not with the Bible but "tithe" so lets park there. Tithe is to pay for books with bible stories for children, pencils, coloring pens etc.

The youth has magazines and Bibles which also cost. Plus the cost to help missionaries all over the world, buy books for prison ministry plus pay for light bill so people like yourself be able to see when inside a building that you call church. Yes, there are sharks out there using the gospel for profit,

@me25422 The bible is not my homework. It is my lifestyle.

[brazilian777able]

@me25422 The bible has never change; however, what you call bible and what I know" it is the Bible it is two different things. The Torah is "the" Bible. but the translations are mistranslations.get it?
