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.

I'm loving this lecture.

Matt. Do some more please.

[handofnergal]

bravo Matt!

bravo!

excellent dissertation! ^^

5 starz, vote to dilute affects of the evil vote bots

damn you theists!

[ndrthrdr1]

@sera7ares said "130 people disliked this???"

No, those dislikes (most of them, anyway) are from a vote bot. That's a computer program that dumps fake Dislike ratings on videos. Some religious extremists use these bot (short for robot) programs to con people into thinking that most people actually dislike the videos. They do the same thing with YouTube channel plannedparenthood because they are actually against birth control. They think that even condoms are "evil".

Clicking "Like" helps.

[a2daredevil00]

No, I think the people who dislike don't like hearing the truth that their beliefs about Hell (God also) are made up, borrowed/stolen many times over and UNTRUE.

[sera7ares]

are you serious??? 130 people disliked this???

is it because they hate the concept of hell, or matt explaining the concept of hell??? smh

[TheAlaricPetz]

Votebots?

If U see this, I'm hoping that U would do a lecture on Original Sin & the Garden.

I've told mt story many times that when I was in Catholic elem. school, the stories I could never accept was Hell & O.Sin. This is why I so much appreciate this lecture on Hell.
