Atheistic Hell Theory

So today we are going to discuss, Atheistic Hell Theory! Which is basically, a theory that even though God isn't real, hell is.

So, what is consciousness, anyway? We can all agree, since it is apparently the "hard problem" in atheistic philosophy, that it is pretty remarkable, can't we? And it's something that is non-physical. You can't touch it. You can't measure it. But you know it's real, since you experience it. In fact, some like me would argue, that consciousness is more real than the world around us. After all, the world may be an illusion, but we (or I) know for a fact that I exist, based on the fact that I experience thoughts, emotions, and feelings.

Well, first, what if this is just a natural side effect of life? When organisms get to a certain intensity in the evolutionary process, there is an interaction between the brain and the universe that creates a lightbulb phenomenon! And, out of matter and some property of the universe results a being that can reflect, think, self-reflect, and knows that it exists. It has experiences! Basically, consciousness.

Does it take a brain to create consciousness? Well, according to atheists, yes, so I will say yes. However, consciousness is non-physical. What if consciousness wasn't completely destroyed upon death? What if, fragments of the self-aware being scattered, and still existed long after the brain was dead? Without the ability to remember, of course.

How do you know it's not true? Why do you pretend to understand consciousness so well? Actually, we don't understand the concept of consciousness at all!

One thing is for certain, however, if awareness is separate from the body, it would experience pain. Without the neurotransmitters seretonin and dopamine, the soul would be in utter misery. And for all of eternity!

And that's Atheistic Hell Theory.
