Will the far-right wacko Repubs end up in hell?
If you're any kind of religious person, you know that what Republicans are doing goes against every Bible verse known to man. So if you believe in the hereafter, will they pay for it? I would think so. How can you discriminate against people as they have and selfishly enrich themselves at the expense of others and not pay for it?

(12,185 posts)The Bible clearly teaches it exists but I am unsure a loving God would assign anyone to hell that didn't somehow chose to be there by affirmatively rejecting an alternative. (Pride can be a powerful motivation.)
Nevertheless, if bad deeds earns the sinner hell, the current crop of Trumpers qualify. Of course, if bad deeds earns a sinner hell, we're all doomed.

(8,230 posts)People who go there do so of their own free will, and the choices what lead there can generally be seen here. Like the woman in some articles here and elsewhere wh voted for Trump** only because he promised free IVF, and somehow I guess thought she wasn't voting for all the destruction which is now putting her into a hell on earth.
That said, I do believe in the possibility (and the possibilities) of purgatory, though I haven't the faintest idea what it would look like. But then - I don't have the faintest idea what any alternative might look like.

(82 posts)So we're all going to meet up, floating in the palm of God, and even Trump will be there. But he will be finally freed of his self-hatred, insecurity, and resulting cruelty, and he will have repented of his mean spiritedness, and we'll actually like him . . . imagine that . . . .
Godspeed,

(8,230 posts)and all manner of things will be well - as the Lord said to the lady Julian." - George MacDonald, a 19th century universalist, as quoted by C. S, Lewis in hos book "The Great Divorce." The Lady Julian referred to was Julian of Norwich and I don't know how accurate the quote is but I like it. Lewis's book is not intended to be taken literally, but it does describe a few scenarios which demonstrate what going to hell of one's own free will might look like. That can be helpful if one is trying to imagine the unimaginable.
