I am going through one of my worries about hell again. What do you guys think are truly the odds that the Howard Storm story is actually true? How likely is it that he actually saw hell?
Here is a link to his story for those who are not aware of it.

I am so worried about this I have lost sleep over it because I am scared that I and my loved ones may end up in hell forever. What can I do? I can't get this video out of my head :-( Would you say it is less than a 5% chance that he actually saw hell assuming he is not intentionally lying and being as sincere as he can?

This is an anecdotal story.  It cannot be verified, and offers no actual evidence to support the existence of Heaven or Hell.  Furthermore, there is no evidence to support he actually believes his own claim than there is evidence that he is simply lying.  There is no more evidence for the truth of his claim than for claims by those who say they have been abducted by aliens.  This sort of thing makes for great Utube videos that get lots of hits, but like other similar claims about unsupported things, it falls in the category of "bunk".  You don't believe people get abducted by aliens do you?  You don't just up and believe someone remembers a past life he lived 200 years ago.  Well, maybe you do.  In that case you need to get it together if for no other reason than to stop tormenting yourself with pointless concerns about things no one actually knows, or the ravings of  self-centered publicity whores who make absurd claims and are looking to be the center of attention.

People make their own heaven and their own hell.  Heaven and Hell aren't some time in the future, they are right here, right now.  Are you in Heaven?  Good for you!  Are you in Hell?  You need to do something about that!
