im not into the devil, just so ppl know, but it got me thinking, why do only bad ppl get sent to hell? wouldnt that be punishment for the bad, meaning the devil is doing a form of good, in a justice way?

I think a more realistic view *if I actually believed in the devil* would be that he would be in the form of a political leader. It would make a lot more sense for him to punish the good people, and reward the bad. That would draw more people to him, and make him the more powerful.....I think the Christians might have made a slight flaw.

The Devil has no say in who goes to heaven or hell. And it doesn't punish people The freaking place does. The place is the torture not the demons. Demons are having a Bi$h of life as well.

If you are bad you go to hell (so they say). The Devil doesn't take the bad people because he wants to help the good, he takes them as he feeds off their souls. It's purely a selfish thing. (In a nutshell).

The bad you are talking about is better explained as the absence of God.

Devil can get anyone. Not just the bad people. People who do not have Faith in God are more in favour of the devil because they do not have God to protect them.

We are all of us sinners; we are all "bad" people. God is so pure, so holy, so just - that no one is truly "good" in God's eyes.
That's why we need a Savior - and those of us who have accepted God's free gift of salvation - well, He sees us a little differently - the blood of Jesus Christ has washed away our sins; they are blotted out, as far away as the east is from the west; and they are not charged against us anymore.
The wages of sin is death; but Jesus has paid for ours.
He can pay for yours too! That's the beauty of our faith.

there are good people in hell......One goes to hell by rejecting Jesus
I have read alot of the writing of Pope John Paul II from what i read he wasn't trusting Jesus for his salvation so he propbally is in hell. Sad to say and i hope im wrong (i want to see noone go there) but God only accepts those that accept his son.
