if the bible was accurate we'd all go to hell for cutting our hair

Not that I give a **** because I don't believe EVERYTHING in the Bible, but Leviticus doesn't condemn people to hell. In fact, the concept of hell was reminiscent more of a purgatory, Hades, Sheol, etc.
The more recent defamations of the term "hell" were taken from Christ, then abused by the church as a dangling carrot of reward/punishment for control. Essentially, though, Christ taught "hell" as a place of rejection from the church; he equated those who would not love others as being weeds/chaff to be burned during the harvest. It wasn't a literal place anymore than the elect should believe that heaven is a place where they will be bundled as wheat, ground into barley, & made into sandwiches.
