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.

That Xtians would so gleefully and imaginatively invent such intricate visions of punishment and torment speaks volumes about the twisted little fantasies that inhabit their minds.

They imagine a Hell with bleachers, so they can watch and enjoy the suffering of the 'sinners'.

Sick bastards.

This is the religious version of a snuff film.

Porn for Creatards.

It's not about atheism as in a lecture about the concept of not being a theist. It's actually topical. So what do you mean by unnecessary?

@LJonesy2

That presumes that God is rational.

[SinnFein4ever]

I wonder if Dante Alighieri read the St. Peter's Apocalypse and it inspired parts of Inferno (the original written in the 1300's?

[clarkent69]

Exactly my point. Our tactiale sense has the ability to adapt, or else we would go nuts being bombarded with the sensations of air against our skin. SO if we were burning forever, we would eventually just tune out.
