Re: Hell\'s existence seems incorrect
If we define God as an all perfect being, one must conclude that a negative perception of God is incorrect. The person who believes in a faulty God does not know the real God, for if he did, surely he would find him to be infinitely perfect, all good, all loving etc.
One must therefore question the way they derived their beliefs about God because there must have been an error or many errors contributing to it.

Re: Hell\'s existence seems incorrect
More importantly, if one were to accept a religion on the basis of Pascal's Wager, wouldn't it be most prudent to choose Islam? They have the most angriest god of all.

That's true if you are a Protestant (particularly a fundamentalist) or uneducated. [/ QUOTE ] I am a confirmed Catholic. Do you deny that the Bible has errors?

Re: Hell\'s existence seems incorrect
Yes. We know that the Bible is the inspired word of God and everything when taken in proper context either allegorically or literally is true, but only the Catholic Church can correctly interpret these meanings infallibly.
