People in Hell, According to the Tenets of christianity.
Here is a list of people currently burning in hell, or about to burn in hell, according to christianity/passages from the new testament.
(The original idea came from http://www.christslove.com/hell.htm)
JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Titus 3:5a
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us"
Book of John
"He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God."
Matthew:18:3
"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
Anne Frank
"...I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really
good at heart."
How sweet. But people who do not accept Jesus Christ as
their savior still go to Hell. You though the Nazis were bad? Burn in
hell!
Elie Weisel
Nobel Peace Prize Winner, famous survivor of the Nazi Concentration
Camps.
"Hey Elie, you managed to avoid the flames once, but God
will get you this time!
Mahatma Ghandi
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us"
Burn, Gandhi, burn!
Shari Lewis - Jewish
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake of fire."
Well, let's hope little Lamb Chop accepted his lord and
savior, Shari - or he'll be burning at the end of your arm along with
you!
Albert Einstein
E=mc2 this! Non-Christians go to Hell! You had your chance
Albert! Maybe you should have discovered Christianity!
Carrie Fisher
"I love the idea of God, but it's not stylistically in keeping with the way I function. I would describe myself as an enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God. I can see that people who believe in God are happier. My brother is. My dad is, too. But I doubt." as recorded by Jon Winokur, editor, in The Portable Curmudgeon Redux, 1992, p. 302.
Obi Wan won't be able to save you this time!
The Marx Brothers
….he that believeth not is condemned already"
All non-believers, all Dead, all in Hell! "
The Three Stooges
Hey lame brains! No Jesus? no afterlife!"
Charlie Chaplin
"By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none."
Let's see you laugh off this misfortune, little tramp !
Rodney Dangerfield
Hey, no respect for jesus, no respect for you!
Katherine Hepburn - Multiple Oscar award winning Actor. Atheist.
Now, it's Katherine HepBURN baby, burn!
Jody Foster
From: The Georgia Straight, Interview with Jodie Foster by Dan McLeod, July 10-17, 1997; page 43.
Q. Where does Jodie Foster stand in the debate between science and faith?
A. I absolutely believe what Ellie believes (Foster played the role of Dr. Eleanor Arroway, a radio astronomer in the movie Contact, based upon the best-selling novel by Dr. Carl Sagan. ) There is no direct evidence (of god), so how could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.
Hey Jodie, don't you know that the wisdom of this world is foolishness? God's going to burn you for using your mind!
Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees
Hey hey! You'll burn in flames!
Bob Geldof - Humanitarian Activist.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us"
Rather than spending all that time feeding people, you ought to have been on your knees and asking for salvation!
Carl Sagan - Atheist. The Pulitzer Prize, the TV Show "Cosmos", the
Joseph Priestley Award "for distinguished contributions to the welfare
of mankind", NASA Medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement, Apollo
Achievement Award, Etc.
Awards don't count for anything if you don't have jesus!
Christopher Reeves - Humanitarian, President of the Paralysis
Foundation. Atheist.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us"
Don't worry Chris, you'll get all your feeling back now... so you can FEEL THE BURN!
Ron Reagan Jr
Son of the 40th president of the United States
I wonder how daddy will live in eternal bliss knowing his son is burning in hell?
Jack Nicholson - Oscar award winning Actor. Atheist.
Wait till they get a load of you Jack, in HELL!
Jerry Seinfeld
Hey, didya ever notice how hot it is in hell?
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy
Hey Kirk and Spock - Let's see Scotty beam you out of this
mess!
Ben Franklin - One of America's Founding Fathers, famous Intellect.
Did not accept the divinity of jesus.
Thomas Jefferson - One of America's Founding Fathers, famous Intellect
"….he that believeth not is condemned already"
Abraham Lincoln - doubted the divnity of jesus.
"….he that believeth not is condemned already"
Looks like that assassin's bullet was only the beginning of
your problems, Honest Abe!
George Washington
As noted by Franklin Steiner in "The Religious Beliefs Of Our Presidents" (1936), Washington commented on sermons only twice. In his writings, he never referred to "Jesus Christ." He attended church rarely, and did not take communion. When trying to arrange for workmen in 1784 at Mount Vernon, Washington made clear that he would accept "Mohometans, Jews or Christians of any Sect, or they may be Atheists." Washington wrote Lafayette in 1787, "Being no bigot myself, I am disposed to indulge the professors of Christianity in the church that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct, plainest, easiest and least liable to exception."
Hey George, can you tell us how it feels to ghash wooden teeth?
Thomas Edison
"I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious
ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a
personal God."
Oh yeah? Well, let's see if you can invent something to keep
you cool in hell!
James Randi
Conjurer/Investigator/Author
"I am frequently approached following lectures and loudly asked if I am a Christian and/or whether I believe in God -- the assumption being that I understand what the questioner means by both terms. My answer has always been that I have found no compelling reason to adopt such beliefs. Infuriated by such a response . . . [they] usually turn away and leave ringing in the air a declaration that there is just no point in trying to reason with me and that I will be 'prayed for.'
"I have no need of this patronization, nor of such a condescending attitude, and I resent it. I consider such an action to be a feeble defense for a baseless superstition and a retreat from reality." - From Randi's book The Faith Healers, page 303.
Here's a trick for you to try, mr "Amazing" - try to escape from hell without Jesus!

Hey, it's a good thing you're not the silent one, this way, we can hear you scream!
John Lennon
Lyrics From his 1970 song "God" (album "Plastic Ono Band"):
God is a concept by which we can measure our pain...
I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles...
I just believe in me, Yoko and me, and that's reality.'
In a 1965 Interview:
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity."
"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong."
1971 interview by Tariq Ali and Robin Blackburn:
Tariq Ali: Your latest record and your recent public statements, especially the interviews in Rolling Stone magazine, suggest that your views are becoming increasingly radical and political. When did this start to happen?
John Lennon: ... In my case I've never not been political, though religion tended to overshadow it in my acid days; that would be around '65 or '66. And that religion was directly the result of all that superstar shit--religion was an outlet for my repression. I thought, 'Well, there's something else to life, isn't there? This isn't it, surely?'
Later in the interview:
... At one time I was so much involved in the religious bullshit that I used to go around calling myself a Christian Communist, but as Janov says, religion is legalised madness. It was therapy that stripped away all that and made me feel my own pain.
... Well, his thing is to feel the pain that's accumulated inside you ever since your childhood. I had to do it to really kill off all the religious myths. In the therapy you really feel every painful moment of your life--it's excruciating, you are forced to realise that your pain, the kind that makes you wake up afraid with your heart pounding, is really yours and not the result of somebody up in the sky. It's the result of your parents and your environment.
As I realised this it all started to fall into place. This therapy forced me to have done with all the God shit. All of us growing up have come to terms with too much pain. Although we repress it, it's still there. The worst pain is that of not being wanted, of realising your parents do not need you in the way you need them.
... Most people channel their pain into God or masturbation or some dream of making it.
... It's a bit of a drag to say so, but I don't think you can understand this unless you've gone through it--though I try to put some of it over on the album. But for me at any rate it was all part of dissolving the God trip or father-figure trip. Facing up to reality instead of always looking for some kind of heaven.
Peace, love? Let's see how that hippie nonsense helps you
now in hell, Johnny boy!
George Carlin
"religion has actually convinced people that there is an invisible man
living in the sky, and he has a special list of ten things he does not
want you to do. And if you do any of these things he will send you to a
place full of fire, and smoke, and burn and torture forever and ever
'till the end of time.... but he loves you. And he needs money."

Matt Groening
From CelebAtheists
Cartoonist/Animator/Producer/Screenwriter
From a February 1, 1999 profile of Groening in the Denver Post:
Matt Groening -- the executive producer of "The Simpsons," who pokes a lot of fun at religion -- was asked by The New York Times whether he believed in God and what he considers the most comical story in the Bible.
Said Groening: "I was very disturbed when Jesus found a demon in a guy, and he put the demon in a herd of pigs, then sent them off a cliff. What did the pigs do? I could never figure that out. It just seemed very un-Christian. Technically, I'm an agnostic, but I definitely believe in hell -- especially after watching the fall TV schedule."
Douglas Adams, atheist
From The American Atheist
If you describe yourself as “Atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘Agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean Atheist. I really do not believe that there is a god - in fact I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one. It’s easier to say that I am a radical Atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously. It’s funny how many people are genuinely surprised to hear a view expressed so strongly. In England we seem to have drifted from vague wishy-washy Anglicanism to vague wishy-washy Agnosticism - both of which I think betoken a desire not to have to think about things too much.
People will then often say “But surely it’s better to remain an Agnostic just in case?” This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I’ve been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would chose not to worship him anyway.)
I don’t accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me “Well, you haven’t been there, have you? You haven’t seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid” - then I can’t even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we’d got, and we’ve now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining.

I think this needs to get to the front for a while.
Just for grins and giggles, guess who's in heaven...
Gary Leon Ridgway, serial killer known as the Green River Killer, responsible for 48 murders -- as far as we know. It's all he confessed to, anyway. He was a devoutly religious (Christian!) man who clearly believed in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

I actually don't mind a lack of comments. Most of them are from theists and the overwhelming majority of their responses are usually already dealt with within the post itself!
That said, thanks for your feeback. I have thought of making a "guess who's in heaven list" and yes, it would include some rather infamous fellows.... as long as you confess that you're a sinner, you gain access to 'heaven'... remember, "works matter not" works both ways...
It just goes to show how idiotic this all is, if you follow through what christians claim about their heaven and hell and actually think about who goes to heaven/hell....

I went directly to the last page, thinking there were that many comments.
Surprise! Each page has more information (and some cool pictures).
I suggest that everyone that comes to this blog post to be sure and read each of the four pages.

I was actually waiting for
I was actually waiting for razorphreak to chime in. I'll go ahead and answer for him.
"The bible tells us not to judge others. We don't know for sure that any serial killers 'really' believed in Jesus. Maybe they were lying. Maybe they were crazy. We don't know for sure that Jesus didn't appear bodily to Ghandi six nanoseconds before his death and convince him to believe. Blah, blah, blah, blah..."
No true scotsman to begin with, and the answer misses the whole point that the way god supposedly has it set up, All those people you listed might well be in hell... as things stand, if they were telling the truth, they are, unless god lied. Surely someone good is in hell, and if there is one, then the point is still made adequately. If there is one murderer in heaven, then my point is also adequately made.

I can't say as I'll complain
I can't say as I'll complain about Sheri Lewis. She annoyed the hell out of me. Turn around is fair play.
Carrie Fisher isn't dead yet. How could she be in hell? Oh, I see. Some of this is predetermined. Well, those still alive theoretically still have a chance to escape their fake doom.
And out of personal nitpicking(yes, I must), it wasn't Obi-Wan who saved Leia. Ever, actually. Luke, Han, Bail, and a number of others under the right circumstances. Obi-Wan never even met her after Bail Organa took her to Alderaan. He kinda lost his head. And the rest of him. > >
Jack Nicholson in hell? Watch out satan. I think Jack will kick your ass and take your job. He knows the part, and noone can play it better.
My question is, what dispicable despots can you point to as going to heaven? I have a feeling that might be a bit more eye catching than who's going to hell.

You're assuming I'm Christian. On top of that you're assuming I take the bible literally. You said "according to YOUR bible" . I don't take the bible literally. My interputation is living the life of Christ, (moral etc..) not doing bad things than saying "I believe in Christ" than getting a free pass.

If you're not a christian, then the question doesn't apply to you. If this is the case, then please post elsewhere.
That's completley immaterial to this discussion.
Again, for the third time, this is the question:
"How do you feel that, according to your bible, she went straight to hell? "
This is what the bible says. I am not interested in hearing how you rationalize the problem away. If you are a christian, and accept the bible, then either respond to the question without dodging it or stop wasting my time. I really am not interested in how you rationalize the problem away, your psychological defenses are your concern, not mine.
