Okay, first of all, I am going to tell you all that I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died for me.
Now.. I have been fascinated with hell the past few days. I have been reading about NDE (near death experiences) and how people claim that they have seen hell and experienced what happens there. From what they have said and what the Bible says about hell, it doesn't sound like a very fun place to go. I read about the poem "Dante's Inferno" on wiki and it says how there are 9 circles of hell and depending on your actions in life, that would determine which one you would be placed in.
Sorry, I'm starting to blab >.<
So, is it normal to be fascinated with hell if you are a born again Christian?

Heaven to me is a place no different than my life now. Ultimately, I believe that in order for a human to be truly happy we need misery in our lives. Due to this thought about a necessity for sadness I cannot imagine hell.
I've come to the thought that heaven and hell are really metaphors that we use to describe our lives.
However, I would love to spend a moment in Hell. My reason? If the pain is nothing that can be compared to what is on earth, I would love to experience it for myself. I can't even imagine what pain like that would be.
Not knowing if I'll ever feel it, kind of bothers me sometimes.
