How about five minutes in Hell after you die, if that ever happens.
Bible, the guide to Heaven, the handbook for living.

Yes, I have, many times. You need to read the bible some more -- there is no hell.
Revelations:
20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The death spoken of in verse 14 is Adamic death, which claimed the whole race for the sin of their father, Adam. Death is the penalty which was place upon Adam for his disobedience. God did not say that in the day Adam sinned he would burn forever. No, He said that Adam would indeed die.
If there is to be a second, it implies that there has been a first. Not only so, but the second must be like or similar to the first, or it would not be a second. Adamic death is that which our Saviour came to destroy.
The word hell in verse 14 is from the Greek word hades, the grave or oblivion. Both Death, Adamic death and Hell, the grave, will be thrown into the lake of fire.
Most Bible scholars today admit that the book of Revelation is highly symbolic. Fire is considered a symbol of complete destruction. Therefore, if death and hell and all who continue to rebel against God are cast into this symbolic fire, this would mean utter destruction for eternity. These are the willfully wicked and not the merely ignorant, mislead, blinded or deceived. The grave will be no more, and the Adamic death will be no more.
1 Cor. 15:26 states: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." This is the death which passed upon all through Adam. The second death will always be possible, because once someone is given an opportunity to learn righteousness and they still choose to disobey, they will die of their own choice.
Jer. 31:29 speaks of this time. "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge."
When full opportunity is offered to each individual, although Adamic weaknesses shall be upon them, their death will not be counted as being a part of Adamic death, but as being a part of the second death because their failure to make progress will be the result of their own willfulness, and not that of Adam.
The "Lake of fire" is referring to fires that kept burning in the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna) for the destruction of offal and the prevention of contagion. Into this fire the carcasses of malicious evildoers might be thrown for destruction. It thus symbolized the second death. Nothing was tormented in the fire of the valley of Hinnom.

Don't ever curse your parents. The Commandment says: Honor thy Father and thy Mother, so the days may be long upon the land that the Lord thy God hath given thee. If you do not honor your parents, your will have short days. This is the only Commandment that contains the promise. You should be happy to be born. Do good upon this Earth while your here. Time is so short. When you stand besides your parents grave, you will have wished you were a better child. Then it is too late, to tell them your sorry.

Well considering you entire case is based on the lies of religion being true. To which there absolutely NO EVIDANCE TO SUPPORT!!
As for the bible being a guide to Heaven let's consider the moral and ethical nature of this God figure! A God that will create a mortal test knowing the outcome before hand and intendeding before the foundation of the world that all the evil we see would occur! Also knowing before creating anyone knowing exactly who would go to heaven and who would go to hell! Yet dispite this foreknowledge still created those he knew would go to hell!
AND YOU THINK THIS GOD IS GOOD???
LAY OFF THE CRACK PIPE!!!
As for cursing my parents NOT AT ALL!!
I'D SOONER CURSE GOD! THAT IS IF HE REALLY EXISTED!!

If Heaven and Hell existed, I'd rather go to Hell because in Heaven you are stripped of your personality and become a happy drone freak. Who would want THAT?! *screams* The madness! The ever-horrible madness!

No. I enjoy the world. And, as I am not Christian and therefore do not believe that anyone need go to Hell, I highly doubt that I will ever have cause to curse my parents.

I have a couple of times wondered why I am here but when my mother died in 2000 I ended up regreting some of the things I thought when she was alive. I beleive that we all here for a reason and we will eventually find out what it is and it is up to us to decide wheather we act or not.

No, I would never curse my parents from bringing me life. What an odd thought. It is almost as ridiculous as being born with original sin which I need to seek forgiveness from some god that refuses to show himself to the world.

you have have been given the assumption particularly incorrect. So let's imagine you deliver your baby presents periodically, deliver them letters, attempt to teach them a thank you to make their lives extra appropriate, enable them to be attentive to which you're continually there for them, you tell them you like them, you ask them to return and be with you. additionally nonetheless, you enable them to be attentive to that they might desire to make it easier to be of their life quickly, or whilst they die they is in basic terms no longer waiting to be with you. you baby rejects you, say they do no longer love you, do no longer think of you're relatively even there - the letters are not information sufficient, the presents all around are not information sufficient. i've got faith the Hell reported in the Bible isn't an relatively hearth. our bodies return to airborne dirt and dirt, what's there to burn? yet particularly Hell is being continuously separated from our Father. i've got faith it relatively is describe as hearth simply by fact we gained't fathom in basic terms how poor it will be to be sure and be attentive to God is real and then be without Him for eternity.
