According to the bible, you have to believe in Jesus H Christ in order not to end up in this lake of fire, but the Koran also states that you have to believe in Mohamed as the last prophet or else you will also go into the lake of fire.

So I guess the solution is to believe in Jesus as a god and Mohamed as god's messenger all at the same time. Did I get that right?

lol...not sure, man, but it does bring up an interesting question...if you pull a fish out of a lake of fire, does it come out already cooked?

No need to worry about a lake of fire; simply ensure you are buried with Orphic devotional texts. You are then likely to find favor with the judges of the underworld, who in turn will reward you with a drink from the Pool of Memory. Much better option than a lake of fire.

Yeah, cooked, but you have to ask yourself exactly what the fish did to end up in that lake. You sure you want to eat a cursed fish? Maybe, I guess. After all you're cursed anyway.

You have to guess correctly, and if you guess wrong, you're toast! :mrgreen:

This is one of the many lines of reasoning I used to kick religion completely to the curb in my early twenties. There are literally hundreds of religions to choose from, they all contradict each other and there's no way to prove any one of them more right than the other, yet we're supposed to randomly fish out the exact right one or be tortured forever. The only way to win is to just not play the game at all.

Who's to say the fish are cursed? Damnation is a human punishment, you don't generally hear about animals being sentenced to Hell. They probably just like the warmer temperatures - Hell's version of the vent fish, perhaps?

I feel like your assumptions out you as being a bit judgey, my friend. ;)
 
On which planet is this lake of fire?

This thread is severely lacking in two things, originality and honesty.

i can add honesty

um lets see

i don't know if ther are any lakes of fire to avoid after death their is so far no indication of them or any continuation of awareness after death

if there are lakes of fire i don't know how to avoid them or what would lead you to them

every one else's seems to be as ignorant as i am

but some people believe they know about these fire lakes


multiple contradictory claims exist however

some people believe in a continuation of awareness after death without fire lakes at all

I have serious suspicions about exactly how those fish got there. Yes. Fish can be evil, as we have likely all seen in Jaws.

lol...ok. Fair nuff. So, the only question remaining is, do cursed fish taste better than normal or blessed fish? I mean, they say that everything that tastes good is bad for you, soooo....

All religions claim:

- My faith is the one true faith.
- My church is the one true church.
- My god is the one true god.

They can't all be right.

You're right. The topic deserves serious consideration and less levity. So, here is some honest: IMHO, all religions are nonsense.

Prolly depends on the seasoning. What's floating around in the lake of fire? Okra, I imagine. Boiled okra is cursed.

At least you aren’t pretending to pose a question, so you got the honesty part right. As for your beliefs, or lack thereof, so what? Do you feel like that is a valid thing to start a thread over?
 
Lake of fire
A symbolic place that “burns with fire and sulfur,” also described as “the second death.” Unrepentant sinners, the Devil, and even death and the Grave (or, Hades) are thrown into it. The inclusion of a spirit creature and also of death and Hades, all of which cannot be affected by fire, indicates that this lake is a symbol, not of everlasting torment, but of everlasting destruction.​—Re 19:20; 20:14, 15; 21:8.
