If you honestly believe in hell, then don't you think it is in poor taste to make a joke about Nietzsche or anybody else going to hell?
The Nietzsche thing was in response to something posted about him a few years ago, I wasn't trying to suggest he would go to hell.
The hell reference was due to a discussion about hell, that was a few years ago also.
Neither are meant to be condemning or threatening, they both however are true as far as my beliefs go.

I would argue that you don't believe those statements - otherwise you would not include them as jokes in your signature. You say you believe those statements, because it's a requirement for your denomination, but your common sense tells you that those statements are a joke - cognitive dissonance.
