Hell documentary

[Barbara Manatee]

I can't wait to see this documentary in September. It looks like all the major views will be covered: traditional view of eternal torture, universalism, annihilationism, hell as spiritual separation. Looks interesting!

Also, there is some new information about when/where it will be showing locally:

SEPT. 21ST

AMC GRAPEVINE MILLS 30
3150 Grapevine Mills Parkway
Grapevine TX 76051


I like that different views will be covered and debated, not just one.

I couldn't tell from the preview if the null hypothesis is given any time (or if it was "expelled").

I do not know if any atheists are interviewed. From both trailers and from reading the blog over at http://www.hellboundthemovie.com/blog/ , I suspect Kevin Miller (yes, he made "Expelled") is a universalist. But clearly there are others in the documentary (Mark Driscoll, Hank Hanegraff, etc) who argue in favor of the eternal torture chamber.

Personally, I find the "traditional" view of hell untenable.

I can't get past the cooky-ness of the trailer to take the documentary seriously.

ETA: The new trailer is better. But I unfortunately have the first one still in my head.

Why would you interview an atheist about the afterlife.

Not sure why but I guess that Kevin Miller DOES interview an atheist in this film. *

I read this on*
http://www.religiondispatches.org/ar..._other_people/

"An opening sequence of Miller attempting to engage some mad-as-hell Westboro Baptists left me worrying, “Oh. He’s going to caricature the brimstoners. Not good.” But it soon becomes obvious that Miller really does want to know the minds of people like atheist Robert McKee, who thinks universalism is a form of wussiness among people who just can’t handle dichotomies and who are uncomfortable with ultimate choosing."

Why not?

Afterlife has nothing to do with religious beliefs....its just our energy shifting from 1 form of existence to another.

Well, I went to see it and there was an athiest interviewed. It was a really thought provoking documentary. Afterwards there was a Q&A with the director and a few of the people featured in the film.
