Hell Houses

[9-10ths_Penguin]

You can't have forgiveness without there being something to be forgiven for. If you aren't lost you can't be found.

... they can't sell you the solution until they sell you the problem.


I predict that within my lifetime, the distinction between Hell houses and haunted houses will blur, both terms will be used interchangeably to describe haunted houses meant for fun, and the people who started Hell houses in the first place will be all upset and frustrated that their term has been "taken away" from them.

If you aren't lost you can't be found.

Well of course you can be found if you are not lost. And of course you can hide from being found without being lost. But I take your point...despair is the oxygen of religion

It would be fun to stand at the exit of one and tell all the passerbys that this is what will happen if you don't believe in Islam.

The documentary Hell House is on YouTube- it's both hilarious and sad. My friends and I lost it at the scene with the "satanic" symbol at about 2:27-2:30.

Ed.: per Venatoris' correct time on the YT vid.
Doh!

Nepenthe, I almost wet my pants whilst laughing at this video.
A warning would be nice next time.
FYI: the symbol is at 2:29. Awesome!

I am a Christian so naturally I think Hell Houses are a very BAD idea.
I think something like that will do more harm than good.

Whatever gets people saved as long as it doesn't break the law or Christian values is fine with me.

So you really think that showing kids depictions of abortion, homosexuality and AIDS, suicide, drug use, gang violence, and Wiccan baby sacrafices,will "get people saved"? Yeah, sure.

You don't mind how filthy something is?

I watched that video yesterday. I should point out that the image was not a Star of David, but rather a hexagram. It is a pagan symbol, but it is not used by many modern pagans due to the confusion between it and the Star of David.
