We're all going to hell. That's a given, but what's the first thing you're going to do when you get there, aside from being raped by a demon?
Assume that hell does exist and only Super Lame Nerds go to heaven.

Enough with the anti-hell propaganda. The daemons are nice and cater for your every sexual need. Not like in Heaven, which is run by an evil dictator and his army of angels (who happen to all be white).

First, visit Hitlers coffee shop and have a biscotti and an espresso, then I'm going over to Satans place and smoking a blunt with him, then I guess after that I'll go rent a room a Days Inn. Because we all know Days Inn is a branch of the Hell Hotel chain, the Hiltons of hell.
Are there condos in Hell?
Angels can have sex.... >.> Its heaven baby!
In hell...you are used or the user.
I'll wonder what the heck I'm doing in New Jersey.

Sex is also a physical act. Our spirits cannot have sex. Angels do not have the required equipment to have sex.

I'd probably piss on the demons, show them how evil I can be and take the fuck over. After which point, I would install some boilers and turn hell into a gigantic corporation providing clean geothermal energy to the world. The demons would be the accountants, not to mention they'd also play the role of supply requisition, and the tortured souls would be my engineers and maintenance.
You know, after reading your responses, I sure hope you aren't thinking about the spiritual "Hell" (as opposed to Hell, Michigan) because if you are, you are really messed up then.
Maybe you people don't entirely get what the Biblical (and many other) version of Hell is.
IT IS NOT A FUN PLACE. YOU DO NOT GET TO HAVE FUN.
You are essentially stuck in a prison where the unsaved, demons, and Satan will eventually spend the rest of eternity, in an everlasting fire that "burns" you but does not kill you. In other words, it's prision, but an infinite times worse. You have no power there, Satan has no power there, his demons have no power there. You stay there, and burn, and experience agony like you've never experienced.
Have a nice day, and hope you're never there, cause once you go in, there's no chance your ever gonna get out. No chance in Hell :)

People can't exist in an infinite space. It's a mathematical impossibility.
COnsider this:
There must be a finite number of people in Hell. For there have been a finite number of people who have died. They take up a finite amount of space.
If Hell is infinite, then the portion of Hell that is occupied would be defined as a finite number divided by infinity. Which equals zero. People take up no space. Therefore, they aren't there. :)

That's where you're wrong. Hell is in fact the owner of a very cold, very large cavern far beneath the surface of the earth where the ceiling is covered by serpents that constantly drip venom down on the constantly freezing, poor trapped souls of those who died from old age, disease, or any other reason that that does not involve dying honorably, weapon in hand, on the field of battle. The entrance is guarded by an immense warhound named Garmr, whose howls will signal the beginning of the end times. It is rumoured that the road to Hell goes northwards and netherwards.
The nails of those who are sentenced to this place are pulled and used in the construction of a grim ship called Naglfar, onboard which Loki will arrive at the head of an army of giants, initiating the final events of Ragnarok, which is the destruction of the world and of gods and men and giants.

Hell wasn't made for us. Originally made for Satan.
Also, God created us not so that He could condemn us to Hell but so that we could truly love him. (difference between programmed love, and free love)

I never understood the concept of Hell myself, actually. None of the interpretations really made logical sense to me. How can one claimed to be all-forgiving and all-loving or whatnot punish someone who sinned for a very very short time in one "dimension", therefore sentenced to an eternity of pain and suffering. I just don't see a just God doing that.
Now let's say, Satan controls Hell. Why would he want to torture you? If anything, the best way for Satan to get back at God would be to embrace these sinners, and let them spend their eternity doing all the evil sins they did while they were on Earth. It would be like a big :upyours: to the Lord, which is a lot more effective than torturing people that defied the Lord in the first place.
Ok, let's say Satan just likes to be an ass. It goes back to my original statement; why would God send you there because of a few things you did wrong in your mortal life? Why should "non-believers" suffer an eternity because they were never "blessed with the word of God."

Regardless of the changes undergone by a reputedly omnipotent and omniscient being there is a precedence for violence. He did it before so he can do it again.

We're all going to hell. That's a given, but what's the first thing you're going to do when you get there, aside from being raped by a demon?
Assume that hell does exist and only Super Lame Nerds go to heaven.
I would spend my time talking to all the interesting people that are down there.
I never understood the concept of Hell myself, actually. None of the interpretations really made logical sense to me. How can one claimed to be all-forgiving and all-loving or whatnot punish someone who sinned for a very very short time in one "dimension", therefore sentenced to an eternity of pain and suffering. I just don't see a just God doing that.
Now let's say, Satan controls Hell. Why would he want to torture you? If anything, the best way for Satan to get back at God would be to embrace these sinners, and let them spend their eternity doing all the evil sins they did while they were on Earth. It would be like a big :upyours: to the Lord, which is a lot more effective than torturing people that defied the Lord in the first place.
Ok, let's say Satan just likes to be an ass. It goes back to my original statement; why would God send you there because of a few things you did wrong in your mortal life? Why should "non-believers" suffer an eternity because they were never "blessed with the word of God." Not just those who chose not to believe in God in a Western society, but those who never even heard of the word "Christ." And what about Jews? They're going to Hell because they don't think some guy 2000 years ago was their savior.

God had set rules which we had the choice to follow or not. We decided to break them. However, God is not content to just leave us all to die and suffer, so he made a way back to Him.
About the Jews, I don't know about today, whether or not their going to Hell.
And yes, if a serial killer asked/repented, he would go to Heaven. (If seriously and truly accepts that what he did was wrong, etc).

Yes, we have the choice. Kinda like how you can chose not to accept a gift and get the person upset or sad, or you can accept it.
It's not much of a choice, it boils down to *puts on a dramatic godlike voice*'Do what I say and live how I tell you to or you'll burn in hell for all of eternity! Now who's your deity?!'

And yes, if a serial killer asked/repented, he would go to Heaven. (If seriously and truly accepts that what he did was wrong, etc).
Yet what justice is there when one is sent to Hell for not even getting the chance of knowing God? Think of the billions of people who must have died over the years while Christianity was still spreading from East to West that never knew of Christ. Do all those innocent people deserve the divine Justice of a God they never knew? Now, I can understand justice for things that are just plain wrong (murder, rape, etc) or even in complete defiance of God (preaching hatred of God, converting, etc) but I cannot see how God sending someone to Hell just because they either A) Didn't know he existed or B) just chose not to worship him for whatever reason, if they lived a good, honest life.
And unless we're talking about a Dante's Inferno situation where they're different "degrees" of Hell, I don't even see how sending every sinner to the same place for different sins is Justice either. And AFAIK, there's a pretty black and white definition of Hell in the Bible. Either you're there, or you're not.
Actually, i think you are all taking this "fire and brimstone" thing much too literally. The actual definition of hell is eternal seperation from God.

But i think Jesus said something about the condemned being released from hell someday, but if you still choose to believe that hell is all suffering, forever, just pretend the title of this thread is "Things to do when in Purgatory"
But then we are allowing people to continue on being misinformed of the facts (religiously) about what Hell actually means.
About Jesus releasing people from Hell, I think your confused about either the final judgement where God pretty much goes over your sentence one more time, or your thinking about where Jesus "descended" into Hell to bring those in Abraham's Bosom to Heaven (Abraham's bosom is a holding place that is essentially Purgatory, only it is now empty according to the CHristian faith and it was meant for those who believed before Christ came)

He had the mark of Nod on him, which is means wandering, and thus we can infer that Cain was granted immortality. Nobody could kill Cain because he's supposed to suffer death but never actually die, thus the seven times thing. On a side note, anyone who wasn't under a rock in the '90s knows that Cain had something to do with the USSR and a terrorist organization.

God has instilled the knowledge that there is a God in us. And there isn't as much variation as you think. All or most involve the belief of a supernatural being that is higher than us.
Flawed in detail but essentially true. Every criminal goes to a "jail" of some sort, the only reason why there are different levels is because of security risks, etc. but when there is no real security risk, and only one real crime, then one place.
And even then, it's kinda late to change your plea after the trial.

Yes, because a sin is a sin. A sin is a disobediance of God's rules.
Biblically speaking:
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Jesus was sent as the way to avoid destruction -- through his blood, sin can be washed away and our eternal souls forgiven.

interesting, would you care to explain that a little more?
we all have the exact same powers of creation that God has which is why its very important to regulate how we feel and think since that is how we manifest things into existence

That made me think of Scientology, where we're all supposedly omnipotent beings(thetans if memory serves), we just forgot about it.
Where did you get this understanding from?
from the same Light that animates us all
we all have the exact same powers of creation that God has which is why its very important to regulate how we feel and think since that is how we manifest things into existence
Somehow I think this guy :confused: is an understatement.You believe that everyone can create anything of their own free will, just cause it to manifest itself? If that were true people would lie on extremely comfortable beds for all their lives manifesting great food to eat and gorgeous people to sleep with. And don't forget about the infinite amount of alcohol.

Then eternal happiness and a place in heaven could very well be a political lie too. In fact how can you possibly distinguish between the truth about god and the possible lies?
Oh and source?
if it feels wrong its a Lie--theres no source thats reliable that doesnt come from within us first
from the same Light that animates us all

God has instilled the knowledge that there is a God in us. And there isn't as much variation as you think. All or most involve the belief of a supernatural being that is higher than us.
Flawed in detail but essentially true. Every criminal goes to a "jail" of some sort, the only reason why there are different levels is because of security risks, etc. but when there is no real security risk, and only one real crime, then one place.
My study in anthropology would contend otherwise with your first statement. While most religions have a belief of a supernatural power, the morals that are evident in the culture of their respective religion are far too varied. There are many cultures that practice and condone many activities that Christians would consider sins (the worship of idols, homosexuality, incest, beastiality, fornication, murder, etc).
And if you are saying that sin, in itself, is "sin", therefore all the same "crime", then I think I understand more clearly. However, this still goes against my own personal morals, but that's a matter of my own opinion.

That is nonsense. How can everything I think is true possibly be when it contradicts with what someone else believes thinks to be true?(asuming the two things in question are mutually exclusive) There are huge amounts of people who believe ther is only one god, there are hug amounts of others who believe there are many gods. By your logic if they ignore all sources outside themselves they are all right and there is both one god and many simultaneously.

Tis times like these that make me glad God has a sense of humor.
Genesis says God created Heaven and Earth, never Hell. Thus, hell came from somewhere else. Consider, there was a war between Satan and his fallen angels and Mik Ai El(St. Michael, God's right hand man) and his angels still loyal to God. Now, when there is a war, there are battle fields, which are put to ruin. Thus, I believe Hell is that part of the Cosmos scarred by the battles of the Fall. Revelations says Satan was given dominion over Hell. Also, the 'hell' into which Christ descended was not the Hell of modern thought, but Sheol, the ancient word for the purgatory into which saved souls were set to rest to await the arrival of the Messiah, and thus Christ went to say "Oi, you can get up and go now, lads."
