Well hot dog, I'm safe then. Apparently I was baptized as a baby and because of that I am forever saved no matter what I say or do according to the views of the baptist church in my area. So looks like I get to not burn forever in hell, and be away from all the annoying people, since it will be roomy in heaven, and get to do what ever I want. While everyone else burns even though most will be good and live good lives. Such a wonderful system that god fellow has setup.
@WildwoodClaire1 Not that I know of. Never heard of a Calvinist actually. I was just being a bit sarcastic at the fact that I'd be able to go to Heaven since I fall into that .5% that is baptist that you mention in the video and how wonderful that would be. So not only would I avoid hell-fire and brimstone but I would also get a HUGE area where I'd have plenty of space to my self all at the same time. No matter what I do in my life all thanks to my Baptisim that I don't even remember.
@WildwoodClaire1 Heh, yeah after looking up what a Calvinist was I can see how that would mess with people. I'll have to remember to use that next time I'm asked what I believe just so to see what happens.
@xynth101088 I couldn't enjoy heaven if good people where in hell. I'd spend everyday yellin @god what a monster he was 4 torturing people. it wouldn't b heavan 4 god when I got there :D
Its strange that this scare tactic of hell has been deflated so greatly, and Since most of us would be there, my friends, loved ones, and the people I like would be there too. I would feel so out of place in heaven.
A meta analasys of the populations that were once alive (how many people actually lived now and in the past - the total of all brains ever in human skulls... well, livers in guts, anyway...) you can safely triple those numbers of "going to hell", but not the numbers going to heaven :P
Mother theresa dies and gets to heaven. From heaven she can see the citizens of hell eating a feast of roast capon and quail, drinking wine and enjoying themselves. God comes running up to her and offers her a tuna sandwich. "What the hell is this?" She asks. "Look at that, they're having a feast and enjoying themselves and you offer me a poxy tuna sandwich. Why?"
God looks sad "Sorry, but I just don't see the point in cooking for just 2 of us."
Id like to think if the whole Yaweh and hell things exists god would tell me to behave or be doomed himself. He wouldn't place the fate of my eternal soul in the hands of you fuck ups to warn me about eternal damnation. But sadly we all share responsibility in shaping our civilization which molds the malleable minds it produces. So we should all be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this primitive bullshit to propagate through the generations.
... and the tiny rest will go to hell, too. just ask your friendly next door muslim. (maybe its not the xian hell, but the muslím hell, though thats not an advantage and its not heaven in any case.)
Is it not easier to work out who is going to heaven - Revelations if you take a literalist approach suggests 144 000 people in total - so everyone else is in the everlasting fire.
I always wondered why I found the concept of Hell unhelpful
Just based on how Christians portray heaven and hell I think I'd rather go to hell rather than lay on a cloud all day. Hell seems like where the party is at.
God loves all his children, despite the fact he decided in the beginning that nearly all of them are destined to burn in the hell that he created. If that's not insane, I don't know that is.
You forgot all the people who lived along the past 100,000 years of human history.
And of course all the unbaptised infants who die in the womb, just after they are born, or as the result of a miscarriage. And then, if you are catholic, all those people who died suddenly having sinned in any way but without confessing.
Christian idea of loving god: Kills 99.99999% of planet with flood because he was feeling bored, only to come back thousands of years later to make a bloody massacre (rapture) killing anyone just because they don't say they believe in him. And that's only the beginning of it all.
@Vitoldian Yes, this is what the Jehova's Witnesses believe. In fact it makes you wonder why they go around trying to convert people, because it's only reducing their chance of getting into heaven.
I'm not sure how that works if you die before the rapture though.
And those that go to heaven - those very few - are the most boring, obedient people ever. People who don't know how to think an independent thought... One more reason why I wouldn't like to be there - I'd volunteer for hell after a few days in that company.
too bad that im in the "correct" form of religion.... fsm^2 (flying spaghetti monster to the second power) ......fsm is already popular but the main stream fsmers are so undereducated and mostly naysayers.....nonbelievers. You have to believe in fsm^2 to get into heaven..so raise that to 99.9+ are going to hell...my belief matters; its what i base my life on just like you yahoos
hell wasnt even talked about by jesus, he said if you dont believe you will simply cease to exist. hell on the other hand was a lie created by the medici family of the roman cathlic church to scare people into christianity. the medici family were all the corrupt monopoly that made by todays standards billions for "Selling forgiveness"
@62cky4powerthirst Actually Jesus did talk about "hell" but in the context of national judgment (same as used by previous prophets warning of impending conquest). This of course happened with the total dismantling of Judea by the romans as a seperate entity. Interestingly enough these warnings about hell were also always in response to the religous leaders and not to the "sinners". Interestingly it is only in the latin church that the idea of an eternal suffering hell emerged.
According to certain Fundies, just prior to Armageddon only 140,000 people will be selected to be taken up to join Jesus in "the Rapture" while the rest of the world stays on Earth to suffer during "the Tribulation". If you think Genesis literalism is bad, just read what Revelations literalists have to say. Scary that some people actually look forward to the destruction of the planet.
Wait, that leaves 0.5% which sounds interestingly close to the number of Jehovah's Witnesses who are neither going to Heaven nor Hell, but staying here on Earth in an everlasting paradise which -- by cosmological predictions -- will become uninhabitable in about 1.1 billion years, so no matter how much we appease God, we're still fucked unless we can get off this fucking rock. So apparently the religious do support science and reason; they just won't accept it.
Looks like lots of vacancies up there in the clouds. More fun down below anyway. I heard George Carlin is highly thought of by Satan and arranges all the parties.
Oh, but Claire, it makes them feel so good knowing they are the special ones looking down on all us inferior scumbags. The more torture, the better they feel about themselves.
Yes, m'am, those numbers seem about right to me. I was raised a Baptist, also. We were taught from the pulpit that Catholics were not getting to heaven. I mean, really, they pray to saints! I can hear Pastor Jackson's voice just as plain as day as he led a prayer for all those heathen Catholics.
Actually I believe a lot of theologians argue that if you never heard about Jesus and The True God you cannot and will not be held accountable for this in the afterlife, that is, you do not necessary have to go to hell.
So the various natives out there had a chance, before the missionaries came around, that is. This sort of makes spreading the gospel quite an act of evil.
your video is JUST in TIME!we now can more easily figure out how many people will be declared 'missing' in the rapture event slated for may 21st, beulah!i suppose it's not the quantity but the quality of those that will be leaving that will make the next few months much more pleasant for the rest of us (well, that is till the end of the world on october 21st...day after my bday....i plan to have a big party!make it a bbq in prep for the firey furnace and all!:)
God so loved the world that he temporarily lent his only begotten son, so that the .00001% of the world who believith in him in the correct manner will not be burned by him for all eternity.
Can't spell love without 'b.u.r.n.t.h.e.m.a.l.l.'
Doesn't Revelation give the exact number of the elect? Does everyone else go to hell? That would make the population of hell the total number of people who ever have and ever will live minus the few thousands of the elect.
Just some remarks on the graph Claire : the Graph puts all Protestants together, but if one represents on the graph all Protestant denominations that are not in "communion" with each other, Orthodoxy (Eastern+Oriental = 12%) becomes n°2 (and still growing).
I'm actually quite surprised as to how many people would be doomed according to the view of Western Christianity. Oh well :)
"those Baptist backsliders that dance to that godless jungle music, drink, and fornicate, and play games of chance".... so, like every Baptist i've ever known? lol! EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HELL! God damns everyone to Hell b/c our sins killed his Son. According to the Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill," but our sins killed Jesus, so we're all going to Hell anyway. Great video, Claire!
"The math" of Revelations pins the saved #'s as 144K if memory serves. And some denominations, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, soften the blow to the solar plexus with a two tier magic: the saved who get to live eternally like rich and no-worries earthlings vs saved who are saved because they suffer. 144K in all.
Beulah, Jeffrey Dahmer will be in heaven... He converted in prison and was baptized and was born again... I think that is so nice… Of course none of his victims will be there – you know the at least 18 young men he had sex with, killed, had more sex with and then ate…
Isn't forgiveness wonderful?? You get to go to paradise for forever!!!
Might almost sound like that this IS hell! (And maybe those baptist protestant that are here (in hell), just didn't quite make the final cut for whatever reasons). =)
Not to mention the billions who have already died. Christians are sensitive about obscenity.... I say hell is the most obscene idea a human ever had. It's snuff porn for sadists. Who love Jebus.
@AuntieDiluvian What is this about using the word "Jebus"? Jebus was a name for Jerusalem, nothing to do with Jesus. I think someone got confused somewhere and the meme spread.
And all the Christians who lived before 1609 when the Baptist church was founded in Amsterdam. Don't forget about them. They also went off to the lake of fire! :)
I can see it now. All 300,000 TRUE BELIEVERS in heaven. on their knees, praising god, high fiving each other for all eternity while laughing their asses off at the rest of us frying in hell. At least I'll be in good company.
That's just present day statistics. At the time of the flood in 2350 BC it was just 8 people in the world. BTW, studying flood geology vs real geology was the first crack in my faith so I guess I'll be there with you at the Barbeque at the end of time.
"Beelzebub's playground" hahhahahah I had to laugh at that one. And just think of all the people in the PAST too. Hell is going to be jam-packed with billions and billions of people tortured forever all because they believed in the wrong mythical character. god damn, the Bible was right! Narrow is the way and few there are who will find it!
I did a little bit of generous math and was showing ppl that believed in the Abrahamic religions went to heaven and the rest went to hell. It means ppl as Torquemada, Hitler and Bin Ladin is in heaven and ppl as Gandhi is in hell.
Damn...so Hell seems to be pretty full right now and I was so looking forward to it. It's quite selfish that these God botherers are talking up all the space and not leaving any room for us atheists.After years of telling us that's where were heading for and they go and beat us to it. Well bollocks to that, I'm heading for limbo thats only half full with unbaptised babies.
dreadedcandiru99 does a hilarious review of "Left Behind." After the rapture, a television report in the movie shows the "confirmed vanished" at 142,380,000. dreadedcandiru99 does some quick math onscreen to show that gives one <2.4% chance of picking a lucky ticket. lol
@SamWiseGingy Don't worry about it, according to this verse, everything is ok!
(Isa 5:14) Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
HELL IS HUGE! It is "without measure"!!! You can now rest at ease.
And this doesn't even mention people who are already dead and frying in hell.... And what about people who lived BEFORE Christianity? Doesn't the Bible say you MUST be baptised in order to go to heaven? Well, holy moly, people! Hell must already be a bustling and noisy place, even without the 6.9 billion currently living. By the way....exactly WHERE IS Hell? At the core of the earth? Is there even room enough for all these people there?
Thank you Claire for your time in making these fantastic videos. I mean it...I know it takes a *lot of time* and a *lot of frustration* with technology is involved, yet you have persevered and succeeded in educating and entertaining us. We stop everything else in the house when we find your videos in our box.
Brilliant video! And by the way, if heaven is filled with sanctimonious Christians who got there by spreading hatred, guilt, misery, subjugation and fear, then sign me up for the time share on the shores of the lake of fire!
Only about 23 people are actually going to heaven, and it's a good bet I'm not one of 'em. Don't forget, the 6.4 billion people who don't qualify for the Rapture are fated to seven years of horrific suffering and painful death before the planet is turned into a smoldering cinder and obliterated by a God who loves us... then we get to burn in hell for all of eternity : D
This fits in so nicely with what i was taught in Sunday School Strait is the gate and narrow is the way and few be that find it or whatever it was to justify the few moral religious people i ever came across.
@java501 Yep. And this is why a video like this won't phase 'em one bit. They couldn't care less that most of the world's population (past, present and future) are going to hell. It's part of the plan (even though it is God's will that none should perish but, apparently, God doesn't always get what he wants). But, be sure, the ones subscribing to this doctrine are certain THEY'RE in the minority! :)
@TheStigma I actually corrected the slide before finishing the video but then erased the wrong slide, argh! Well, I'm not taking down the video and redoing it for something that trivial.
@WildwoodClaire1 you can just do a caption box or whatever they call those text-boxes that you can insert into YouTube videos. That's how many people make correction post-upload. Just saying in case you weren't aware of that option.
@WildwoodClaire1 Don't feel too badly! I don't know why, but consistently spell Psalm as Pslam even though I know better (guess it's sort of like hte for the). I usually catch it but one of these days.....
Hell, girl! I ain't gonna follow you up to dat baoring frog infested sess pool! That weren't half as shiny as I thought it'd be. No bright, shiny molten lava like in hell, no! (Nice place for a geologist to do research BTW. I know you want go...

But this is only the half truth. You have only looked at the picture as it is today.
People who went to hell in the old days:
100% af the people before Jesus.
100% of the people before the Baptists came around.
And the movement presumably had to grow a bit before it reached the impressive 0,5% of the world's population.
So total population in heaven is probably a lot less than 0,1% of the worlds total population.
For an omnipotent and omnibenevolent god he sure did mess this one up...

your video is JUST in TIME!we now can more easily figure out how many people will be declared 'missing' in the rapture event slated for may 21st, beulah!i suppose it's not the quantity but the quality of those that will be leaving that will make the next few months much more pleasant for the rest of us (well, that is till the end of the world on october 21st...day after my bday....i plan to have a big party!make it a bbq in prep for the firey furnace and all!:)

Doesn't Revelation give the exact number of the elect? Does everyone else go to hell? That would make the population of hell the total number of people who ever have and ever will live minus the few thousands of the elect.

Just some remarks on the graph Claire : the Graph puts all Protestants together, but if one represents on the graph all Protestant denominations that are not in "communion" with each other, Orthodoxy (Eastern+Oriental = 12%) becomes n°2 (and still growing).
I'm actually quite surprised as to how many people would be doomed according to the view of Western Christianity. Oh well :)

God damns everyone to Hell b/c our sins killed his Son. According to the Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill," but our sins killed Jesus, so we're all going to Hell anyway. Great video, Claire!

"The math" of Revelations pins the saved #'s as 144K if memory serves. And some denominations, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, soften the blow to the solar plexus with a two tier magic: the saved who get to live eternally like rich and no-worries earthlings vs saved who are saved because they suffer. 144K in all.

Beulah, Jeffrey Dahmer will be in heaven... He converted in prison and was baptized and was born again... I think that is so nice… Of course none of his victims will be there – you know the at least 18 young men he had sex with, killed, had more sex with and then ate…

@Hereticbooks [who are already dead and frying in hell]
Its a great number indeed, including the billions sent there during the flood.
[what about people who lived BEFORE Christianity]
Judaism turned into Christianity with Jesus. Jews were saved for their faith in the promised Messiah yet to appear.
[be baptised in order to go to heaven]
Literal baptism is a work and outward obediance and showing of inward faith. Faith in Christ alone apart form works save you.

Only about 23 people are actually going to heaven, and it's a good bet I'm not one of 'em. Don't forget, the 6.4 billion people who don't qualify for the Rapture are fated to seven years of horrific suffering and painful death before the planet is turned into a smoldering cinder and obliterated by a God who loves us... then we get to burn in hell for all of eternity : D

It's part of the plan (even though it is God's will that none should perish but, apparently, God doesn't always get what he wants). But, be sure, the ones subscribing to this doctrine are certain THEY'RE in the minority! :)
