what do you have to do in order to be sent hell

This belongs in general, or nowhere at all. Please ask the mods to move this thread to the general forum.

oops, oh yeah

No I am going to cease to excist.
Though hell would have been cool but I don´t belive in it

what do you have to do in order to be sent hell

Don't ask me, I don't believe in it. I think the generally accepted Christian way to avoid Hell is to believe in the divinity of Jesus and to live a good life.

I'm an Odinist. Hell means something else to me. According to our definition, I'm probably going to "hell".

what do you have to do in order to be sent hell

Well, if you believe most fundamentalist christians, all you have to do is:

1)Be an atheist
2)Have lots of gay sex
3)Get aborted if you're female
4)etc.

If there's a hell like the one that the majority of christian sects preach, then I'm going to hell in a fucked-up Hyundai.

scare people with heart conditions, push old ladies down the stairs those things should send you to the land of chocolate (if your diabetic)

I'm going to live forever, so the answer is no.

A friend of mine once calmly informed me that lack of membership of her church consigns me to Hell, but there is still time. :rolleyes:

I choose hell.

what do you have to do in order to be sent hell

Nothing.

I'm going to live forever, so the answer is no.
Oh no you're not! There can be only one!


Sorry. :p

Sorry. :p
Aye, then let the battle begin. What's that over there! *runs to his car and drives away*

Well, what is your definition of what hell is, by your religion's definition? You said it's different and that you are going, but you didn't say how it's different and WHY you are going.

I'm honestly curious.

well as an atheist im not going to hell.

but

religiously speaking, that is the question isnt it?

do you believe in purgatory where all but the worst of sinners will be sent in order to burn off their sins so they can attain the perfection of heaven?

do you believe that all you have to do is utter the magic phrase "i accept jesus christ as my personal lord and savior" and you get into heaven no matter what you do after that since all sin is equally bad in the eyes of god anyway (kind of a gnostic approach)

is god a strict interpretationist of his rules throughout the ages so that no uncircumsized man will get into heaven, not to mention those who didnt get baptised at the exact proper point in their lives?

is god a "good guy" who lets in almost everyone no matter of their belief but only on the merits of their actions in life?

no way to know until you get there and find you did it all wrong. sucks to be a believer.

If we're to go by Dante's model of hell then I am going to at least circle 6 for being a heretic, and at the most I would go to circle 8 ditch 8 for being a fraudulent advisor. Either way I'm screwed.

For Christians if you don't repent you'll go to hell. You can murder a billion people, repent and go to Heaven or swear once, not repent and go to hell... Apparently, God has no sliding scale of sin. Riiiiiiiight...

As an Odinist wouldn't it be hel? (just one l)

I think of it as tainting vegetarian food, meat being sin (yes it's a rubbish analogy, just bear with me) If you put any meat into the vegetarian food, any amount, no matter how little, it is no longer vegetarian.

Everyone who doesn't die gloriously in battle, or in another heroic way, goes to hell. Niflheim, actually, which is ruled by the goddess Hel. That's where English got the word hell from.

Emphasise my quotation marks.

I hope not

and just so u know im muslim

I wouldn't mind beings sent to vahllah. It sounds like it would be cool to fight, drink, and have sex every day.

Maybe you could strap a sword to your hand with duct tape and get a police officer to shoot you when your old and ready to die :)

Hmm... somehow, I don't think Odin would fall for that... :D

I'd rather go to hell then worship a masochistic god with obvious character flaws

Are you insinuating that I have flaws?! :p

I don't need to go to hell, because a) I'm immortal, being Death itself, and b) I helped design hell anyway, which means that I know how to get out if I do go. ;)

hell wouldnt be so bad, just need to get acclimatised, i plan to go for an intern opening for first few million years and then move into more freelance work

According to Christianity, I'm and ignorant heathen who is and should be going to hell.

But I believe that if God is half of what he's cracked up to be, he'll let me into heaven with honors.

I don't believe in the whole 'worship me or forever suffer' crap.

It must be honorable battle, and worthy of a god's notice, so pissing off your local cop does not count, even if he kills you.
