Damnation/Hell

There are some that feel that we are all doomed to eternal Hell if we don’t agree to various “blind faith” religious doctrines.  We have been taught by our religious western culture that since God is perfect we have been rejected by IT because we are not perfect.  Thus we were created to be separated from God.  This truly is a tragedy!  We are left with the conclusion that we are unwanted.  This creates a niche market and fertile grounds for snake oil salesmen of religious institutions to offer a solution to the very lies they create.  HOW CONVENIENT!

But “blind faith” solutions defy logic.  Let’s take a logical walk.  If nothing is equal to the Creator and nothing exists outside of the Creator, than all exist within IT.  Thus all that is within the Creator receives life from the Creator.  If the Creator gives life to all souls then a piece of the Creator exists within each of us.  This would mean without that piece of the Creator within us we would cease to exist.  So we must exist due to God’s “breathe” within us.  If our soul feels joy then our Creator, through that piece of ITSELF in us, “shares” in that joy.  If we feel pain the Creator also “shares” in that pain.  So if we are to be eternally damned then so too will be part of our Creator.  Thus, eternal damnation cannot exist simply because God would be inflicting pain upon ITSELF.

One more thought may help to clarify this point.  We at this point must conclude that Hell is a created place if it exists.  If Hell is within our Creator, then Hell would be contained within our Creator.  But here is the problem.  Hell is a place devoid of God so souls can be tormented.  Such a place cannot exist within our Creator  Remember that nothing else exists other than the Creator.  Thus Hell cannot exist.

Damnation or Hell is not spoken of or supported within the Torah.  The Torah defines a covenant with mankind and would be the most appropriate time to mention such damnation.  There are mentions of punishments but with a positive outcome assured by our Creator.  Hell on the other hand, offers no hope thus opening a door for the snake oil salesmen that crafted a solution to the very problem they created.
