Do you have any corroborative evidence that Jesus ever existed outside of the 
myth?  If not, then whatever claims made per the myth by Jesus about a hell are 
irrelevant to any actuality of same.

 TH> Why would it be incorrect to believe in an actual hell?

Believe all you want, just don't expect that your belief makes it so.  I have 
no more reason to believe in an actual hell than I do to believe in an actual 
Emerald City of Oz.

 TH>  and you need to understand that such an assumption is one of

You mean like your assumption that an unevidenced man named Jesus was the son 
of a god is YOUR dogma?  LOL.

That's a big -IF- again, Todd.  Do you have any evidence that a god revealed 
certain specific things?  Of course you don't, so I still have no reason to 
believe any of your claims about your gods.
