And why????

The lake of fire sounds good to me. I think Satan will be not be as bad as the christians make him out to be. Just because he doesn't agree with god's crap doesn't mean he wants to enslave and torture us. I think more likely he would give us the free will to be a PITA to god.
This is all completely hopothetical sine i believe in neither.

I think as dictated by the spirit of Christ that I have become. I thought like a sheeple until the enlightenment of true spiritual rebirth killed my ego and put the spirit of love in my heart. The comforter tells me all things. I know from this teacher that nothing is as it seems. There's no lake of fire. There's no sheep that are for God. There is only God. God is love. Go love and be loved.

Do these make sense in your head?
1. Out of the choices you've presented, who wouldn't chose retardation over incineration?
2. You have no evidence that a free-thinker would "rot in a lake of fire" or even the existence of a "lake of fire". Volcanoes don't count.
This alone invalidates the point are attempting to make.

Hate to tell you but ALL of mankind are sheep.
Free thinking has NOTHING to do with whether a person spends eternity in Heaven or in The Lake Of Fire.
Pride, arrogance, self-importance, and a good dose of dead-hearted stupidity more times than not, send a sheep to The Lake Of Fire.
Satan and his eternal damnation in The Lake Of Fire is an equal opportunity destroyer. There will be as many mental midgets there as educational/philosophical giants.

Not exactly great choices you give us there. Do you think someone deserves to rot in a lake of fire because they have the audacity to think? Seriously, do you realize that if no one was willing to think freely we would still be living in the stone age. Progress is driven by free thinkers.

The lake of fire--I WILL NOT BE A SHEEP THAT LEADS ITSELF TO THE SLAUGHTER, which is what God wants. Assuming he existed, what a terrible God he must be! "To atone for your sins I demand blood! But because you're all hopeless, I'll kill my own son instead." Horrible.
As for Job, well--what an egomaniac God is! Making a poor man who believes in him suffer so much just to prove his supremacy. Actually, it's a sign of pyschological insecurity. tsk tsk tsk

The options you offer are limited and unrealistic, Maurice. You fail to take into account the idea that there is no God, nor no "lake of fire," but that we are merely very fortunate animals who have developed series-sequential thinking to the extent that we can remember the past and imagine a future, and to the extent that we can use language to talk about both.

I would rather be a free thinker not burning in a lake of fire that doesn't exist.

I'd rather be a free-thinker, since if God seeks ignorance, He is beneath worship.

Sheep for God because God knows how to take care of His sheep. Hell is a lot more than just "rotting in the lake of fire." It also involves knowing that you could have enjoyed all of the bounty of God's goodness, but chose to give it all away for an eternity of agony beyond description.
