A well-known pastor from Arkansas has come under fierce criticism after suggesting that the notion of hell was nothing more than a “fairy tale.” Timothy Rogers, an evangelist and singer, made the remark during an hour-long funeral of a young man he said he did not know.
“Is he (the young man who passed) going to hell? Did he accept Jesus as his … ?’ See, y’all have been sold a lie. You’ve been bamboozled. All that stuff is a fairy tale. To believe in hell means you have to believe in Santa Claus. I don’t care how you cut [it]. Hell is an imaginary place.

“So that’s why you can talk about a hell that you don’t know nobody went to. For a billion years ain’t nobody ever came back and told you that they were hot.

I know how to lay it out to y’all salted but I don’t care. I didn’t come for you to agree with me,” Rogers said to applause from the congregation. {eoa}
