Q14. Should We Believe in Hell, or is Annihilation more Christian?
Back in the Middle Ages religious art was largely dominated at that time by pictures of heaven and hell. Those of heaven displayed cherubs and heavenly creatures inhabiting a place of golden bliss.
On the other hand, hell was usually portrayed with images of fire, demonic beings and, of course, the devil himself as a hideous horned creature with a long tail and a fork in his hand.
These artistic images coloured the minds of people for centuries and have influenced our conception of heaven and hell. But how correct are they?
