How are laws of nature a "figment of man's imagination"
Did we invent the "Golden Rule"?
Did we create our own human nature?
How can man have invented the laws the govern all humanity?
Aren't we the ones trying to figure out the laws that already exist by nature???
Laws created for man to function in a society.
Golden rule in some form or another exist in most societies. Many philosophers have written their own versions over the millennia.
Laws of nature, be it human, animals or fish are matters of science, not god. They evolved with life and the conditions of nature as well as location.
Yes we have evolved hell it even says it in the bible You made man stand up.
Back to the golden rule.
Simple if the same phrase is repeated over an over again could you i don't know maybe think GOD might be trying to tell us something. Really fn think about it IF WE TREATED EACH OTHER HOW YOU WANTED TO BE TREATED. WOULD THERE BE HATE IN THE WORLD ENVY BIGOTRY and all the other otries . Hell we don't have time to fixit comet gets to close the gravitational pull will take care of this whole fn planet that God of earth fucked up with each religion that he reincarnated in trying to be come God in stead of realizing that GOD was willing him to make those religions to explain what the Great One Deity is instead of who.
Hell is a greek concept that made it's way into the NT.

Other cultures and belief systems have their own concepts and ways of teaching the cause and prevention of hell.
Naraka (Buddhism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Same with heaven, there are different ways of teaching this concept,
and nobody has a monopoly on it because nobody created this uniquely.
Again, we may have 'man made' terms for these things,
but the "collective level" of either spiritual peace or spiritual suffering
is a universal concept. We are just trying to define the process and figure out how it works.
And yes it's all "faith-based" because whatever you use heaven or hell to refer to
is on a collective level beyond what can be quantified, measured or proven using finite human means.
I point out that war is hell.
Collectively, all humanity suffers from war, but this is "faith based"
to define and discuss the process of going through war to achieve justice.
The concept of human suffering on a collective scale is universal,
but the expressions of it are relative.
