Question about Heaven and Hell


For the record I'm not religious, but according to the most strict Christians, only those that believe and worship God will get into Heaven. Because God loves us so much, your only punishment for not obeying him and worshiping him is getting tortured, crying, feeling intense pain, being scared, for eternity.

My question is what if you got to Heaven, but found out your mother, or brother, or wife, or child was in hell. I would not enjoy myself at all if I knew my loved ones were suffering. It'd be like taking a vacation while your closest loved one is dying alone.

How could you even want that? If I went to heaven and found out my family was being poked and prodded with hot metal rods while a freaky red guy with horns was laughing at them cruelly, I would probably ask if I can join them. What kind of monster would I be if I was enjoying myself while people I cared about were suffering?

Not my style

Dude, it's kind of selfish to be worried about your close family members going to hell, when, if orthodox Christians are correct, almost everybody who has ever lived who was not a Christian will spend eternity in Hell. Your poor family will just have to join the crowd and suffer for eternity.. Too bad! That's the way Christians see it. And they can justify it, too, by claiming that those billions of hell-dwellers deserve their punishment because they made the free choice to reject God and his only "begotten' son. Or, some retarded shit like that. Christianity is just f-cking retarded. Don't worry about it. If there is a just god and your family are not psychopaths, they and you will be fine.

Nobody can answer that, none of us know. I’m fairly certain the Christian community would send me straight to hell without passing go. I’m not religious.
This probably will sound all hippie or whatever, but I listen to the universe. I believe if you pay attention, the universe gives you guidance and let’s you know when you’re fucking up. It sends me messages and signs all the time, and it smiles on me in many different ways. It makes more sense to me to listen to universal energy than to have another human tell me my fate.
