Hell exists for the USA, Israel, Britain, France, etc. For what they are doing now and what they did in the past. It is such a relief to hear them screaming in hell while those who were killed are watching them smiling and in relief. It may look like they are safe living in their billion-dollar mansion and bunker, but they ain’t safe from Karma.

    Hell is an Abrahamic concept that isn’t really compatible with karma. The essence of karma is that there is no difference between what you do and what happens to you. For every life you live as a billionaire, you must live billions of lives under your own boot.

      According to Marxism, what will happen to these war criminals?

        The ideas of everlasting torment or pleasure were invented by rulers who wanted to keep the poor from revolting. If you want to punish a war criminal, you need to do it while they’re still breathing.

          Thank you everyone including you for giving me an insight into Marxism. I will look into it more in the future.

    I am a spiritualist and I believe in the immortal soul and an afterlife but unfortunately for me when I’m in a nasty mood I don’t believe in Hell. I see people as a product of circumstances and it seems unfair that even the most evil person should go to Hell as such evil person was either 1) born evil, not their fault, or 2) made evil, not their fault.

    That, and outside of logic/morals/philosophy I will also say I have had an experience with the dead via a medium and they basically said (in short) there was no Hell. Definitely some sort of Limbo-esque thing I would bet though.

    I will say though that I believe these people to be living Hell in their lives, here on Earth. You could never convince me these people are happy. You can see it in their actions, yes, but more important to me you can see it in their eyes. Such deep anguish, only exacerbated as they continue to isolate themselves further and further from humanity with each wicked act, re-enacting their traumas unchecked on a global scale. No respite. No real friends. No real love. No passions besides to kill, hoard and conquer, none of which are a friend, they are demons, like an addiction to hard drugs. They can’t even express it…the closest I have seen personally is the hollow, subtly abrasive and dissonant genre paintings of George W. Bush.

    I do not believe in karma as a force that balances out life, that physical justice will ever be carried out to these ghouls as plenty of them die old and untried and rich, but I do believe that the weight of their sins drags their soul across a field of razor blades. They can try to run from it–and they certainly have access to lucrative tools of distraction us proles do not–but it is in vain. You cannot run from guilt.

    I guess the only thing I have a hard time reconciling is psychopaths. Those who are physically incapable of empathy or guilt, many of whom are channeled to upper echelons of capitalist power. Psychopaths are definitely a hard nut for me to crack. I feel like I can understand other severe mental illnesses very easily, and can easily fit it into my spiritual/political framework, but psychopaths are hard. I feel like I would have to meet one, or experience temporary psychopathy (such as when doctors shut down their empathy during tense procedures).
