Are you going to hell...
October 26, 2014 at 11:26 am
I saw a Sunday morning new show who reported only 2% of all Americans polled say they know they will be going to hell is hell is real.
That makes me wonder how many here believe that they will be going to hell if indeed hell is real.
A simple yes or no. I will not be preaching one way or another (unless someone requests it by asking questions or making statements that require a response.) I just want to know what you think.
A simple yes or no will do

I most likely would. I can't wholeheartedly worship the deity described in the bible. Even if I got into heaven, I'd probably eventually be kicked out. With nothing but eternity ahead of me, chances are pretty good I'd screw up in some way and become unworthy.

A simple yes or no is what you do well, dripster. Out here in the real world of nuance and substance words are not the measure of anything important. Yes and no are fine for deciding stupid things like "do I believe in God"?
So being as hell is not a real place, I couldn't really go there. It is of no concern to me. You're asking me to decide if, based on my understanding of your fantasy, I would be sent to the 'bad place' for how I live my life. I'm no longer concerned with whether an uberparent will judge me as lacking. I don't obsess over external consequences. It seems a better use of time to think about what I want to do than what it is I ought avoid. But I will defend to the death your right to remain infantile.

I've been meaning to send in my application for hell for some time now, but I haven't been able to find it's postal address. I have no interest in heaven whatsoever.
I'd rather do neither, even if both exists. Why wouldn't god just leave me alone? He doesn't bother the other apes.

*sigh* No, Drich. No one is going to hell. Not now, not ever.

I'm not going to Narnia either if that helps.

No I would not. Why? Because if it were real I would believe in it and do what I had to to keep out of the burning hell that God created.

You should have an "I don't know." category.

I think I can say no? But I'm not 100% sure as that decision is ultimately in God's hands, not mine.

If you believe in Jesus, you may be called least in heaven, but you will get to heaven regardless of what you do. You just may or may not be able to stay there forever.
