I can imagine having a vacation home on some secluded planet where I can bang away on a guitar and sing out of tune and enjoy a time of being by myself... well except God would be with me. So to get tired of heaven after a trillion years, I can't see that happening there will be an entire universe to explore and care for and who knows what other great things God will have for us. And you'll be sharing with all sorts of nice people like hitler. ![[Image: mybannerglitter06eee094.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo112%2Fpussinboots_photos%2FBikes%2Fmybannerglitter06eee094.gif) If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.  
And here I always thought that Hell was a valley outside of Jerusalem called "Gehenna".

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy
Uhh yeah, somebody already kind of made that joke...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna
Gehenna was likely the inspiration for the Christian concept of Hell. The OT (Jeremiah 7:31-35) details how it was the site of the worship of Moloch. Quote:Jeremiah The ancient Hebrews felt the valley was tainted by the alleged cruelties performed at that site and used the valley as a garbage dump where refuse was burned. Later, the Hebrews adopted a ritual of tossing dead bodies of condemned criminals into the valley. It was the final insult, to have your remains thrown into the valley with the burning refuse instead of being buried. Did I mention that Gehenna, the Greek word for Gehinnom, is a synonym for "Hell"? So let's run it down. Gehenna was: 1. A place of an evil, sadistic god who was a rival of Yahweh 2. A burning pit 3. A place forsaken by Yahweh 4. A place where the wicked dead were tossed after they died

When I die, I want to have my ashes sent to the Valley of Gehinnom. That way, people can honestly say I died and went to Hell.
The place in Michigan would do as well.
