Am I going to hell?

I mean, heaven sounds a little too fun and friendly for me. You know, the way heaven is portrayed to me in those old paintings with golden frames. It's a place where everybody, man and women, dances and sings in a huge circle with God and Jesus... Fun with the whole Holy Family. I don't hold a grudge against the holy dude, no. It's just... Dancing and singing ain't my type of having fun. Especially when you know the select people in heaven wear white robes or dresses. And being so high in the sky playing with your harp on a cloud. The climate tends to be a lot colder up there. I'd rather not go to hell either but since I'm not claustrophobic or afraid of heat and pretty resistant to pain I think Hell is a better option.

Or there's something inbetween. I don't know. I don't care actually, this is the here and now and what happens after I'm dead isn't something to think about right now. Why is everybody busy with what happens after you die? The Bible is quite clear about the subject, but the person who wrote it, has he ever been there? God is immortal, so he cannot see what's "life" after you die. Very interesting. Just have fun in your life and don't take things too seriously, that's what I say.

And remember, you're there for eternity. That's a bit of a long time.

It'd be a lot more fun if we turned into spectres after we died.
Then we could go anywhere and no-one would see us. Even other planets or planes of existence.

Just make up your own religion with your own heaven that perfectly suits you, and brainwash yourself (and why not some other people too while you are at it?) with it until you fully believe in it. Problem solved! :D

Technically, the cannibal and serial killer, Jeffrey Daumer converted to Christianity before dying. So, he went to heaven.

But John Lennon wasn't a Christian and it's very unlikely that the Dalai Lama will convert to Christianity, either. So, they're going to hell.

And if I had a choice between Attorney General Ashcroft and Jeffrey Daumer OR Lennon and the Dalai Lama, I think it's obvious where I'd go.

I heard a version where everyone goes to Heaven, but because ot everyone thinks worshipping God all the time is fun they make their own Hell.
Sounds pretty miserable to me.

Well, the wings would be fun, but standing around smiling purely at the women angels would get old.

Nirvana might be nice.

Viking heaven would be good for a while - swilling mead, hacking away at the roast boar, singing songs, and making love to Valkyrie after Valkyrie.

But "forever" takes the fun out of any concept.

I figure that heaven is something beyond our imaginations.

Nope, you are too lazy to get to hell. Only those who are actively trying can make it, you can't get to hell by default, or inaction.
You are also apparently too ignorant to make it, yes Ignorance can be bliss in some ways.

Something that will torture you forever eh?

How about being goatse'd and Tubgirl'd for the rest of your life...

Heaven is heaven. It's not too cold, it's not too hot. There's no lovey dovey singing circles if you don't want there to be. And I think (don't hold me to it, I'm not sure) only Angels sit on clouds playing harps.

I don't see Hell as being feasible. I mean humans can learn to enjoy anything. Look at the Stockholm Syndrome. If you kidnap someone, keep them isolated and brutalize them enough, they will eventually love you for it and even take part in your sadistic and criminal past-times willingly.

Since humans tend to be hardwired to have the ability to become inured to just about any form of torture, I think that Satan has long since given up and is probably watching re-runs of 'Full House' while eating Ben and Jerry's with his big ol' gut hanging out of his bathrobe.

I doubt that the devil, while trying to torture you would put them there. Or he could put them on the other side of a electric fence beconing to you to join them, only to be shocked everytime you tried.

You have an extremely distorted view of heaven. Heaven is when the uncomprehendable all of a sudden becomes comprehended. It is probably like an explosion that utterly consumes your previous thoughts. Haven't you ever thought of something that was so profound that it felt like time stopped and all the hairs of your body stand on end, and your eyes water? It's 1,00000000000000000000000000000 times over in heaven. Except that you are given the perception to understand it perfectly.

DemonLordEnigma
31-03-2005, 01:42
Event Horizon is actually pretty tame in the gore department. You want gore? I'll describe to you the only time I have ever been allowed to run or play a Call of Cthulhu game. By the end of it, seeing a man hanging by his entrails from your overhead fan doesn't seem to be quite as bad.

As for Hell: Since most religious sects believe the others will go there, pretty much everyone will. Since we're all going to Hell eventually, why not buy property there? I've already got Lilith to agree to be my roommate.

That reminds me of a joke...

On old lady gets to the gates of Heaven and is met by St Peter.
"Hello Molly," says St Peter. He starts looking through the book as a horrendous scream echoes from within the walls.
"Goodness!" said the old lady. "What was that?"
"Don't worry about that, dear. That was just one of the new angels having a hole drilled in their head for the halo to be fitted."
"Oh, right..." The old lady looked a bit perturbed.
St Peter continues looking through the book. Another piercing scream resounds.
"What was that?" the old lady squeaked.
"That's just the new angel having the holes drilled in their shoulderblades for the wings, don't worry about that. Oh look! Congratulations Molly, you're allowed into Heaven!"
"I don't want to go to Heaven! I want to go to Hell!"
"Oh no, you don't want to go there! You'll be raped and sodomised!"
"Yes," said the old lady, "but I've already got the holes for that."

Does anyone else realize that the bible has no description of Hell? Does anyone else realize that the church just kinda came up with it one day?

For those of you who want biblical proof that we all go to Heaven, try John 10:28 and 10:29, where Jesus says;

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

An irony is that most concepts of Hell are based on the Lake of Fire mentioned in Revelations. The one thing missing is that Satan is thrown in there at the end, not there already.

I knew that random fact lets have a better one like this:
