Naturalism 101 Guidelines
NONTHEISTS and hard agnostics only.
This forum is strictly for discussions and debates between nontheists and hard agnostics only. The topic range is for nontheist "in house" issues much like Theology201/Ecclesiology201 is for "in house" Christian/theist issues.
This area is not to be used to unfairly substantively rebut/discuss/criticize specific other members who cannot respond or defend. It also is not be used as a platform to simply stack arguments against theism with the intent that they cannot be responded to here, but interactions between different nontheist viewpoints is highly encouraged. Arguments simply directed towards rebutting or disproving theism should be posted in Apologetics 301.
Additionally, gratuitous blasphemy or mocking of Christians will not be sanctioned in this area. If you wish to mock, please do it where the mocked can respond. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and do not abuse this area.

This is an old thread but the following may be of interest [and indeed some relevance to the general thinking of many on these boards]
Erroneous modern Christian notions of hell as a biblical concept are outgrowths of the unfortunate influence of the KJV of 1611 CE and its fallacious translation of the biblical terms as hell, and moralizing that term as invariably meaning punishment. That misfortune, together with Luther’s mistranslation, has wreaked significant havoc in shaping the moralistic theologies of current theological cultures. This mischief is especially tragic as it helped to shape the concepts of Heaven, Hell, and Afterlife in the destructive American heresy of fundamentalist evangelicalism. [see Heaven, Hell, and the Afterlife: Eternity in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Ed. J, Harold Evans, Praeger, 2013, Vol 1, Chap 2,]
