[Discussion] Hell on Earth or Hell in the Afterlife?

[Uzumaki Menma]

I'm currently writing a story revolving around an ambitious young man who is confronted by an older gentleman who offers the other a gift.

The gift is one of the legendary Fruit of Eden, the older man says. He also states the rules and reasoning for him giving this gift which I'll quickly shorten up for your sakes;

The Earth is a shitty place. Terrorism, hate, injustice, death, and disease all rule supreme over the planet. By accepting and eating this fruit, you will gain an ability, one that you will not know until you have it, but it will be capable of making great change in the world.

The catch is, if you choose to eat this fruit, while you may gain unimaginable abilities, you will also be damned to hell for eternity.

My question is, what would you do and why?

The fruit can swerve

Not even close.

 

[Gerkak]

I'll take my current life. An eternity of suffering is a long time.

 

[Osmon]

None of the things that you mentioned affect me in any way right now so I'm good.

 

[Monxstaa]

[Made in Heaven]

I wouldn't take it.

Hell does not exist, so I would gladly accept the fruit/gift.

 

[Dark Sonic]

No. :|

 

[Lightbringer]

Hell for eternity vs Hell for a mortal life with the knowledge of a better afterlife? I think the answer is pretty clear.

[Dark Sonic]

No. :|

I wanted people to say so whether or not they believed in an afterlife, that's all. I didn't want to say that in the post or people would try and debate me about God.

 

[BLAZE]

i will be better off in Pokemon world catching Pokemons :|

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Well we all know there isn't an after life, so i'll take the fruit (Which i'm imagining is the Gura Gura No Mi)

Well, God is a being of pure love, therefore the existence of "hell", a place of eternal suffering, would be contradictory. I really am going off topic here, aren't I? Ha!

If I was your character I would accept the fruit/gift with the condition that the entity or creature offering this fruit/gift confirms that by accepting the fruit/gift one would certainly be making the world a better place.

You don't know that.
