People who believe in religion, just arent that bright, when compared to those that know its false but if you believe in hell, you are extra extra stupid.
Look, then are many things in High School where a display of incompetence stops you from graduating. If you never ever learn how to multiply, you will never recieve a diploma.
Therefore, It makes perfect sense to me that people who believe in hell, shouldnt recieve a diploma.
Heres how stupid you have to be to believe in hell:
You have to believe in a creator, who created everything and knows everything.......except when it comes to hell, where somehow he has no liablity.
You have to believe that an all-knowing creator creates humans, knowing in advance , before giving life to them, that he will roast them in hell for all eternity
You have to believe in a loving God loves to hear eternal screams of unimaginable pain.
You have to believe in a just God sentencing people to the greatest injustice imaginable.

smart people believe all kinds of dumb things too, and high school is unequipped to get rid of all of people's silly beliefs. heck, people could come out of high school believing that economists have the slightest idea what they're talking about. that's far worse than hell if you ask me.

For every action there is an equal and opposite REACTIon...didn't you learn that in school?
You have just insulted those who Believe in the Nordic gods, No coward could enter Heaven. The Chinese have different levels of hell according to their beliefs invented the abacus. The Greeks Believed in Hades. The Egyptians the underworld of the afterlife and also had knowledge of calculus to build temples and pyramids, had working batteries that still work in Cairo Egypt Museum and a model airplane.
Babylonians, Arabs all major religions, who by the way invented most of your math, sciences, astrology, astronomy and medicine and surgical tools all believe in Hell. I guess the ancient people were a bit more progressive than previously thought and more intelligent. They were well aware of the Spirit world and spiritual things. Where more advanced than Europe, during the same time frame. Who would have thought that man would be able to fly Exekial 1, Isaiah 60:8... What's that? Some 4,000 years ago until about100 years ago?
Nobody knew about black holes or the fact that light carries sound either, but it is recorded in Job. and the exact results of an atomic blast is also recorded in Scripture, giving an accurate and very scarry detail of what it is like. 2nd Peter 3:10, Zechariah 14:12..this is a description of a living Hell. Hell is recorded 17 times in both Old and New Testaments.
The Amen Clinic is also conducting studies on Near Death Experiences and your brain functions for about 32 hours after physical death. Some reported their experiences and those of others trying to recussitate them. Who knows. Reading is Fundamental!

Actually, all you need to believe about hell is that some people (like yourself) will prefer whatever "hell" is, to spending an eternity with God.
And since God is committed to freedom of choice, he'll permit it.
And since the choice, by nature, will be an eternal one, you'll then be stuck with it.
That's where the torment kicks in.
