You're asking what would happen if I "ended up" in Hell, whatever it may be realised as. But my position is that no one and nothing can force me to "end up" or remain in Hell. Hence, the above comment of mine.

Not everyone believes that the concept of Hell is absolute, that there's no way out. Not everyone thinks that there are absolute ultimate dead ends like Heaven or Hell. Some people are ambitious enough to realise that we are all-powerful in the end.

Ditto

he is asking a hypothetical you know.. you can't exactly find fault in that.

It;s like me asking " what if you found out all other humans couldn't hear but had been reading your mind so it seemed to you as if they could since they responded to your voice and you were just some kind of experiment of how people can live without telepathic abilities." It's a dumb question really, but it;s just a hypothetical, i have no problem with those..

OK well i thought the point of Hell was that there was no escape( unless your Muslim, but even then non-believers can never leave) no matter what. So it would be to late to appeal to God or apologize or anything. So really there was nothing i could do, i'd just have to face torture for ever and ever.

However i'd assume if Hell and Heaven did exist( personally i don't believe in them). That you;d stand before God and Satan( maybe only God, but Satan ,ay have some kind of say, he is obviously on almost equal terms as God, did he not try and revolt against God? God seems to have no power over Satan so i assume they are equals in a way) and be able to ask questions, plead your case, here their judgments on you etc. I suppose that obviously i'd believe in that event, im Atheist but obviously being before God and Satan going to make me realize i was wrong. So i'd truthfully be sorry for not following God like i was supposed to. If he is the God described in the Bible a severely doubt he would be merciful to me. however if he was a compassionate God that did indeed know me from birth and already knew my life's path. He would forgive my unbelief but understand my life was virtuous and kind otherwise.

However i would not bother to appeal or plead on my knees like a pitiful little creature. Obviously Gods ruling would be absolute so challenging it would be a waste of time, i would hope he i was a just being, if he wasn't i;d have to accept it. Maybe I'd talk to Satan, i've always wanted to know if he was actually evil. I mean he tried to take over Gods position right? Well maybe he was bringing about a revolution from the Old testament God of fury and pain and if he were in charge he would actually make sure all humans had the basic needs for life, as he would likely be about materialism. I would want to know if he actually enjoyed torturing humans, i don;t understand why he is depicted as a truly evil being, he made humans have sentience, ok sentience becomes with shame and the ability to do great evil but also with the ability to do amazing things.

I don't understand the question. How can you think if you are in everlasting pain?
Even if you could, what is the point, you'd be staying there for an eternity. It's impossible to answer your question... I would be thinking for an eternity and there is a limit to the number of things I can say. There'd be no logical purpose for the existance of hell, unless this god was an evil sadist (biblical god, ha!).

I would find a concious being and logically argue the non-existence of such a place, hence realising it is a creation of my own mind in the seconds before death whilst my brain is shutting down and hence dying peacefully and rotting away out of existence.

I would say:

"Wow, God really is the bastard they made him out to be. God's fucked up."


, Carou.

I'd opt to play the Reaper for my second chance @ life; Maybe in Battleship...or, perhaps, Guitar Hero.

Even if you beat the reaper, you'd probably come back as something like a disfigured goat.

The reaper's one mean bitch.

I'd do a reality check.

Lol. Great answer

Id be thankful i didnt have a physical body and therefore didnt have a nervous system or pain receptors... Then id just probably chill out in the lakes of fires... forever.

I dont think id try to argue with god, or plead my case. Going by the 'words of god' ive read (bible etc) he doesnt seem that intelligent, and so i guess i wouldnt wanna draw attention to myself incase he got bored and decided to have sex with me or something.

I'd give god the finger and ask for my lawyer.

I would ask jesus to come and take me to heaven and he would, because he's jesus.

i would be really mad at myself for throwing god away(lets say christian god) cuz i stoped believeing in Christ a month ago, i would be like "FUCK!!!!! i had it right the first time!!!!!!!!" but that will never happen but if it did i would be kicking myself for the biggest mistake in my life.

Your lawyer would probably be walking distance from you at that point

"Oh, hell."

"SWEET! You mean I didn't really die?!"

I would slay 1000 demons.

When you did this in Disgaea, the game doesn't end, and you get to continue.

Worth a try.

Why do you say you wouldn't deserve to be there? because God didn't give you enough chances? or because God didn't give enough proof that he exists? Or because you believed that you did more good things than bad things? because it was unfair to create us in the first place?

explanations my friend, explanations.

Nobody really believes they deserve to be in hell. Thats kind of the point. I think the best depiction of hell is in a comic book called Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. In it, the main character goes to hell and finds it not much different from earth, accept that no one can die. None of the people there are capable of realizing what it is about them that is deserving of hell and so they all continue to make mistakes that get them maimed, pissed off, whatever, and don't even realize that it is their own inability to recognize what they are doing and change that causes it to be a hellish existence.

I'd kill myself...oh wait, i'm already dead!!!!! I don't know, if it's a lake of fire and burning forever i would be doing the death scream rather then thinking anything. Lake of fire...bad. You guys would not think of anything
, because you would be burning forever, that's why i like the spiritualist afterlife...maybe not the sappy part but you can do whatever you want, the feelings you get, etc.

There is only 1 hell, and that's your life on this planet. All the crap that goes on in the world, and through your lifetime. THAT is hell.

"Things that bother you, never bother me. I feel happy, I'm fine! Ha HA!!!"

Yeah, you killed 999 and think to yourself "this is pointless" and don't kill anymore and all you needed was 1 more kill to leave the hell hole.
