Types of people that go to Hell

From RationalWiki

So, why were rational thinkers left off?

[edit] What happens in Hell

Nobody can really make up their mind what happens in hell. Some say that their extremely benevolent and kind God condemns you to eternal torture. Others say that it is absence from the presence of God. Basically, they say that it is extremely bad to get freedom from being watched by God every time you go to the toilet, etc.

Again, nobody can make their minds up. Most Fundamentalists say that hell is reserved for ammoral people. They can narrow this down into a few specific types of people:

• Liberals (yes! they're the worst!)
• Drunkards
• Murderers
• Fornicators (unless they're fundamentalist ministers)
• Adulterers (ditto)
• Rapists (unless raper and rapee are married)
• Liars (unless they're fundamentalist ministers)
• Thieves (unless they're fundamentalist ministers)
• Perjurers (unless... ok, you get the point)

• According to that nice sensible Jack Chick, you can go to hell for masturbation, - Well Jack Chick is old and can probably resist tempation. If he masturbated when young he has probably repented and asked God to forgive him.- Chick seems to think you get damned for drinking tea and taking an aspirin (although he didn't state in which order you have to do them to be eternally damned).
• Christians that don't take their Bible literally enough.

• In short, anyone they disagree with

[edit] Who goes to hell part three

I forget what he did, but it's not as much fun as it looks.

Can you guess which one is the barrator?

This might be fun for a while, but after like a a million years or so it gets really uncomfortable.

According to Dante (with special thanks to Gustave Doré's illustrations) the layers of Hell are (heading downwards) populated by : ^[1]

• the irascible
• minotaurs, centaurs and harpies
• suicides
• blasphemers - most of us here
• the deceitful
• seducers

• barrators
• hypocrites
• thieves
• evil counsellors
• schismatics
• sowers of discord
• forgers

  and in the last (lowest) circle we find
