If you believe in hell- what do you think the odds are of you ending up there?
It's kind of a mind fuck, since if you truly believe in a place of eternal punishment, you'd have to be insane not to do whatever it took to avoid going there. Human being? 80 or so years of life. Hell? ETERNITY!
Regardless of how unfair salvation seems to rational people when looking at the world at large- you'd pretty much have to do anything the God that commands you asks.
Personally, I don't believe in anything religious or supernatural, but if there was a hell, I will definitely be going. I don't think you can make pope-sodomization(sp?) jokes and then somehow make it through the pearly gates.
