Question #5 for centuri0n

According to your theology, I am headed for Hell. I have had every opportunity to hear and fully comprehend the Gospel and have firmly rejected its most important claims--that Jesus died for mankind's sins and is the source of eternal salvation. He didn't, and he's not.

Richard Carrier, who feels the same way, is also headed for the fiery pit and will suffer the greatest torments imaginable right along with me. But when I asked Richard why he didn't just believe in order to avoid even a miniscule chance of becoming Satan's dishrag, he said something surprising: He said he wouldn't be happy in Heaven anyway, knowing that so many people were suffering in Hell.

Are you going to be happy in Heaven, knowing that Richard Carrier, Anne Frank and I are roasting on spits over an open flame?
