Okay, in all seriousness, how can people believe that a loving God would allow Satan to burn them in hell?

in the end, destruction is final but the consequences are eternal...it will not take long to destroy people who are evil..it is the evil soul (mind, will emotions)that is burned up. The spirit returns to God.

I don't believe there is a hell.  Why would a supreme being have petty emmotions like venegence?  What use would there be?  He wants us to learn from mistakes, and he forgives...so why a hell?  It's a bit harsh.

If I understand you correctly, you want to know why Satan would choose to blow his citizenship in heaven?\n\nI think pride blinded him.  He didn't know about hell.  Hell wasn't a reality until the first betrayal so far as I know.

If it all be true God and Satan and the whole bit. Satan has done his work through the manipulation of people through the very thing that they think is protecting them from him. Come on a creature like Satan, with powers and has been around for who knows how long, you don't think he was smart enough to think of that and do it? It's what I would have done and I am just a regular mortal person, and if someone tries to twist that idea by saying things like God would never let the Devil do that, well he need not do it him self, he could just manipulate someone else to do it. People talk about the coming of the anti-Christ, maybe he was already here, say about one thousand, nine hundred and sixty years ago. That would have been about the right time for him to do all the damage to the human race that he needed to through their own religion. This maybe the reason the Bible is so absurd. Knowing some would buy into it and other wouldn't, know that this would put people in opposition to each other. I would have done the same thing.

They are deceived into thinking that satan will give them powers and places in hell. They also have their own bible written by Anton Lavey. They also think that hell isn't a place of torment and suffering. They all believe in God too but choose satan instead.\ni knew of a satanist that sacrificed himself on the train tracks because satan promised him a position in hell

As children we envision a devil who sits among the flames and sticks our burning body with his pitchfork.  We think we are hurting so badly from the constant burning that is neverending.  That's enough to make a child at least try to keep the Ten Commandments.  \n\nWhen we grow up, we can hardly believe in that concept anymore as we believe God has a plan for "hell" and the way it will be.  I have no idea about what hell is going to be like.  Some people say we are living it.  If we didn't believe there was a punishment for unrelenting evil people, there would probably be more because there is nothing to dying and just not exist anymore.

Choose what you want. Is it the logical one, or one that pictures God as cruel?\n\nRev 20:14; 21:8. Hades and death, fornicators, murderers, those practicing spiritism are hurled into the lake of fire, and sulfur. This lake of fire means 2nd death.\n\nEccl 9:5,6. The dead knows nothing, no knowledge, nor wisdom in sheol.\n\nIf you want logic: that lake of fire and sulfur means total destruction. Just like throwing paper or wood into fire--they are gone.It is really absurd--or senseless--to say that death and hades will be tortured forever in that lake of fire.\n\nNow if you want to picture God as cruel, just reverse the sentence in Rev 20:14. It will read like: 2nd death means the lake of fire and sulfur. Add to that Jesus parable re. Lazarus and the rich man. And you have an idea why preachers can frighten you with eternal hell-fire torment.\n\nTop that by calling those who disagree as HERETICS, or Cult members, or Infidels (if you are a Muslim)\n\nTo encourage others to inflict punishment on disbelievers deliver a stirring sermon: 'those who die as martyrs, get 72 virgins in heaven'.\n\nNow, do you get the idea of heaven, or hell-fire doctrine?\n\ngood night.

Within the Bible there is little description of Hell especially in Old Testiment.  It was simple described are a place without G-d.  Dante descrbied Hell as a place where people are blown around ripped apart and frozen and eat over and over again and only G-d's grace can save you so that would have attracted worshippers to avoid Hell.

Here ya go, this should keep em busy for a while!\n1. Why would God entrust the spreading of 'His' word to one of his 'fallible' children? He knows men are sinners and are untruI doubt a professor would allow one of his students to teach a class if all the other students' futures were at stake. If God loved us so much and he wants us to be with him, why would he put our eternal souls at risk like that? \n\n2. If Satan is the ultimate trickster, how do we know that Satan hasn't tricked Christians into worshipping him as God (Yahweh) and are actually rebuking the "real" God in his own name? \n\n3. If god cast the devil into hell and hell is a place for eternal punishment from which even god cannot grant a pardon, then why do the preachers tell us the devil is walking up and down the hallways of high schools tempting teenagers to do drugs and have pre-marital sex? A warden who allows his prisoners the freedom to go out and kill and rape would be terminated for incompetence. \n\n4. I have often heard from many believers that even Satan has a presence in the church, which is why even in church people can still have impure thoughts. If Satan can find his way in the church, how do Christians know that Satan didn't find his way into the Bible and twist the whole book? \n\n5. If the Universe is everywhere by definition, why do theists ask where it came from? How can there be anywhere for the universe to come from if the Universe is already everywhere by definition? \n\n6. Does God think? If so, he cannot be all-knowing. Think about it. \n\n7. If a soul is non-physical and the human body is physical, how does a soul stay in our bodies? \n\n8. If God is all-knowing, how could he be disappointed in His creation? \n\n9. If God is unchangeable (immutable), how is there evidence of a god when everything else around us is changing? \n\n10. Why did God flood the earth to remove evil? It didn't work! Evil came right back, God should have known that would happen! So why did He bother? \n\n11. Why is it that theists tell me that I have to examine every part of the universe and not find God anywhere in order to say that there is no god, when in fact all I need to do is not find God in one location since he is supposed to be omnipresent? \n\n12. If the garden of Eden was a perfect paradise as xians claim, then why did Eve even want to eat the apple? Wouldn't a perfect place provide everything a person would want or desire and thus she would want nothing? \n\n13. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death" Does this mean animals sin as well? Or uni-cellular organisms? Do plants sin? Because they all die as well, not just humans. Why does an animal die, if it doesn't know the moral difference between right and wrong? \n\n\n14. Why would an all-powerful god become flesh in order to sacrifice himself to himself so that his creation might escape the wrath of himself. Couldn't god, in his infinite wisdom, come up with something a little more efficient? \n\n15. If we are the children of god, and yet we have never seen him, does that make us the bastards of god? Not to mention my mom didn't marry God.\n\n16. After 9/11 a lot of people have been tossing around "god bless america". Why do they keep saying this? From the looks of it god hasn't blessed anything. If god had blessed america, the 9/11 event would've never happened. Theists seem to give the answer of "everything is part of gods big plan". If everything is part of gods big plan, why are we after Bin Laden? Wasn't he and other terrorists just carrying out gods desired plan? So it seems that Bin Laden/ terrorism isnt our enemy , but god. \n\n17. Christians say that God is NOT the author of confusion. Can you say, Tower of Babel? \n\n18. Christians will tell you that if a baby dies it goes to heaven. Why then are they so against abortion? All the child is being deprived of is the opportunity to go

This is a Roman Catholic teaching which has changed over the years .  They used to teach this more prominantly than they do now.\n\nChristians do not believe it is possible for a person who is incapable of Hearing the Word, Believing the Word, Repenting of sin, Confessing the name of Jesus as Lord and Saviour, being immersed for the remission of sins, (and then walking faithfully) will go to hell.  Hell (Tartarus) is reserved for willful sinners.  Babies, innocents, or the mentally challenged cannot do these things.  God would be unjust if He held them to these commands.

God had a choice. he chose to send them to Hell

Absolutely wrong!  God designed us to be loved.  Satan doesn't love you, and by participating in it, you can actually become possessed.  It is very dangerous, and if you want my opinion, it is the deadliest thing you will EVER do in your life!

Hell isn't a place, and neither is heaven.  Imagine a "god" so cruel that he would condemn people to hell forever just for not understanding or knowing him or for being misled into the "wrong" religion.\n\nOr think about it from a physical point of view.  By physics principles, the universe is slowly running down.  Hell couldn't burn forever.\n\nReligion is there to comfort people.  It shouldn't be taken literally because it has no foundation in reality.

The creation of Hell was never meant to contain any of mankind.  To go there is strictly your choice. \nThe question is always this..\nWhy would a loving God send me to hell?\nBut rather the question should be...\nWhy would you be a fool to reject something so simple as to condemn yourself and allow yourself to go there because of your rebelliousness.

don't worry. its actually satanist for people to say all these hurtful words.. god (regardless of your religion) don't teach ppl to talk bad about others. whatever you believe.. rest assured this, you don't do bad.. you don't go to hell. guess i won't be seeing you after i die.. tata.

Does that primitive fairy tale sound right to you?  For example why wouldn't Satan use his powers to make Hell really nice so that people wanted to go to Hell?  He could gain power by being nice.  The whole good and evil nonsense in the Bible is really very silly if you actually analyze it.

Why?  Because you have compassion for them?  What a heartless God He would be if he sent people to hell for caring about others.
