I thought that it would be fun as well as interesting to take a deep study in what Christians like to refer to as Hell and how does their version compare to other religions that also employed the hell concept for crowd control. Then for a bonus track we will look at early Christian beliefs in resurrection and reincarnation and how it both hindered but helped the Christian cause.

#6 The Historical Evolution of Hell and Reincarnating Christians

This is a survey of religions from the earliest of times starting with ancient ceremonial burials and gifts goods, followed by the development of massive kingdoms and Temples. In this series we will dig deep into pre-Israelite cults and how they influenced Judaism and ultimately Christianity, what were the political motivations behind the scripture and the gospels? Then we will conclude with the Holocaust in the 1930's and look at how religion may have been involved in the murder of over 6 million Jews.
