Sorry to hear that.
If it's any consolation, the song reminds me of the first time I heard it, during my term in Hell (when I went to grad school for 2 years in Dallas Tx.) so it doesn't exactly evoke happy memories for me either.
If I die and wake up on the quad of SMU, I'll know the Christians were right.

My hell would be listening to the song "No Limit" by Two unlimited, for eternity. It's the perfect song for hell, seeing as the lyrics go round in an endless loop of meaningless drivel, which only serves to drive one deeper and deeper into despair. I’m not convinced that the devil could endure it for long either, though.

Oh, come on! This would be a picnic compared to being stuck on the "It's a Small World" ride for eternity. Imagine listening to that song forever and ever....
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

For me it's to be stuck for all eternity in that stupid "Go Compare" advert. If you don't know what that is, please tell me how you managed it.

I'm off to perforate my eardrums and gouge out my eyes.

You guys will have to listen to "Amazing Grace" for all eternity.

Now, let's say I study the bible in its entirety; tracing it back to the original translations; to the point where I know the book better than you do. Let me just add, should I choose to do this, it is almost guaranteed that I will know it better than you do. The only explanation I have to offer for this is the amount of times I have surpassed experts in any given subject, within months of taking it up. What will you do when I come to you, better informed, better educated and present arguments based on the translations that you accept?
I can already digest many of the arguments that you and your fellow Christians put forward, however, they still don't make sense. Now imagine how much less sense they will make when I am better informed. Am I being arrogant? No more than you are. Do you have any reason to believe that I can do what I say I can? No, but unlike your God my abilities have been witnessed and verified by others - most of whom went away with their tale tucked between their legs. Come at me Bro, my mind is ready. I shall return here in a few months, once I have completed my studies, and school the fuck out of you. Watch this space... Either that or I'll see something shiny and decide to chase that instead.
Please do study, seriously I want you to study, I actually want you to learn the truth of scriptures, so I'm going to pray for you. I'll pray that God will open up His Holy Word so that you will see who He really is, and if you actually listen to Him when you come back, well we'll be in agreement on many things.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
