Doesn't surprise me. It's a gross thing to contemplate. In fact, before this thread my thought was Jesus was not for three days and then he was again. But now the idea has been raised, I suppose that if it's a true story god must have let the devil have at. And presumably he'd have done his worst knowing full well his time was limited.
If you really do believe in heaven and hell and the death and resurrection, it's worth contemplating. It certainly ups the sacrifice stakes. It's more of an act of love and sacrifice if he went to hell for reals rather than just winking out for bit isn't it?
But frankly it ups my Christian god doesn't exist stakes. You see even three days of the worst torment imaginable is more than any human deserves for tormenting others during life. So the just, let alone loving, god of the NT simply can't exist.
Jenny, you seem to be one of the most bible literate atheists in this forum. Do you think that the bible says Jesus went to hell and was tortured and tormented by Satan? Also, do you think that the bible says that Jesus died only for 144,000 people (virgin men no less)? Maybe, in the process of getting out your frustrations with christians, you all like to make things up and then rag on us about those things.
