Did God not create Hell?21% Voted for by justonewish, looking4realtruth, Makessenseright, NeferMaatNetjer, TeChNoWC.
Hell was created by God as a place for Lucifer and his followers to be punished – not for Lucifer to rule over. Lucifer also suffers in Hell, along with all sinners who have not repented and taken God into their hearts, Lucifer just suffers.. more.
But even if somewhere in some religious text it says that Lucifer reigns over Hell he still suffers, and being the evil being that he is.. he would want others to suffer just like he does.
The first paragraph is my understanding of Hell and Lucifer from religious friends that I have. If it is incorrect, then someone who actually KNOWS the FACTS should definitely correct me.. But it seems accurate.

this has always bugged meThis might deviate away from the original question but, if according to tradition if you don't believe in god you go to hell. So just by not believing in god that makes you evil even if you are the kindest most generous person ever! Now this doesn't seem right. The way I see it is it's a bit like a dictatorship. And Lucifer was just saying" hang on god this aint right" So the powers that be chuck him into hell. Then they say "right you all better do as we tell you, you must not think for yourselves I am the shepherd and you are the sheeple, you start to think for yourselves I your all-loving god will condemn you to an eternity of pain, like I did to my right hand man Lucifer"17% Voted for by wurzalgnu, SenseiRidgway, NoeL-, GinryuStargazer.
Bit like fascism/totalitarianism really don't you think.
Or maybe this is how the catholic church has painted the picture so they can keep they're power in the world. Just an extension of the Roman Empire!

Good point13% Voted for by Energizer Bunny, LaDiabla, illusive.
Although Satan is not technically the Anti-Christ, good point. If Lucifer was banished from Heaven for disagreeing with God, then surely he’d reward those who God decides are sinners. Maybe Hell is actually where those who follow Satan are rewarded. Or maybe it doesn’t exist at all. It’s just used as a threat by the Church.

bloody hell8% Voted for by keyman7, Makessenseright.
Well, one can debate all day as to what goes on in hell. But one thing is for certain and that is that hell is a very unpleasent place. I doubt if Satan or anyone else will enjoy it, though I hear the rates are cheap for getting there this time of year. Of course the rates into heaven are even less since Jesus picked up the tab and all.

Krimsonkisses is way of: christiansVoted for by frndofyaweh.
Christians Believe Hell is the absence of God and multi-leveled. Those who die the physical death go two places only: belief in Christ is a one way ticket to Heaven, belief in anything else other than Jesus the Christ takes you to Sheol and you “sleep the sleep” until the day of judgement comes. The day of judgement or “Great white throne judgement”, occurs after the 1000 years of peace. Then those judged go to Hell the second level or bottomless pit. then some time later a second attack from the pit and God then casts satan and those who were tempted the second time, into the lake of Fire for all eternity, the third level of Hell.

View from the other sideVoted for by HanzelUndGretyl.
Being Satanic, haveing read the Satanic Bible. I shall say, Satan stands for self being. He represents happyness, loveing life, and respect to those who believe in him. He does not teach stupidity, pain, or hurting others. Most wouldn’t know this because they think they know all about it from the media and what they read in the paper. If you were to read the satanic bible you would see it is centerd around living life to the fullest possible means. He only punishes those who murder or hurt others with no reason behind it. Stupidity is a sin to him, such is hurting children and other beings in any way.

Lutheran View vs. Catholic ViewVoted for by nihilismisdead.
Catholic, not Christian. The Lutherans have a nice way of viewing death. In their description no one goes to hell because God “pays” for your sins and lets you into heaven.

Only one of you has it right!!!Voted for by frndofyaweh.
I believe in God and Lucifer. The only one who seems to know satans goals is the satanic worshipper, BUC! Hell is many leveled and NOBODY is in Hell yet!!!!!! Satan has NEVER seen hell yet, either! Sheol in Hebrew is the first level of hell. It means, “side of the pit” or “absence of God”.

genius!Voted for by ohsweetie2788.
you are absolutely correct. satan (if he is the anti-christ) should reward the sinners yet he seems to punish them in every evil story you here. in my opinion satan is yet another creation of god’s (obviously) and god created him to terrify all the sinners into being good people.

Satans main and first goalVoted for by frndofyaweh.
In the beginning, Satan thought he could manage things better than God. He still believes this and his main goal is to disrupt the lives of Gods children and create an army of satan believers. This evil army will fight on his side at armogeddon against the army of angels, believers and Jesus as it’s King and General.

1st off...Voted for by CrimsonKisses.
You’re taking the aspect of Hell from the christian point of view..which obviously is a tainted description, since they’re so against Lucifer… which is bull because they should be thanking Him because without Him.. they’re lil religion would die!!! Ave Satanas!

ALRIGHTI'm sorry, this is WAY off-topic, but this is to answer all the people (50% of people who commented here) or, more so ask, something:Voted for by GinryuStargazer.
So, a lot of people question, and many Christians here have said, that if you don't believe in God and Christianity then you'll go to Hell. But...that's only for people who believe in it--AKA Christians. So, if you don't believe in a Hell, never mind a God, then how can you go down there??
Just something I've been wondering, heh.

you're right
Satan isn't going to enjoy hell, he will suffer as well as those who go there. As far as religious text, I don't think there is any that says he will rule in hell. If there is something that people find, tell me and I will look it over.scarlet screams

Assuming I still had some sort of relatable function, I would vomit and weep uncontrollably in a "perfect" place where good, wonderful people (some which I love) are banished to torture because they weren't raised Christian. It WOULD be hell for me. I will not abandon the good, and especially not the ones I love. I have no need to fear for myself, because what purpose do I have without them?

Well...
OKay, let me point something out: YOU believe in God; not everyone else does. So saying, there is not complete proof for everyone that he exists, therefor it is not a truth. To believe is not to have faith in the proven. And for the truck; everyone can see that. YOu can't exactly "believe" in a truck or not. It's right there for your very eyes, adn every other sense; it has legitimate proof that it's there.TeChNoWC

They are not going to hell because they are not a Christian. They are going to hell because they are not good, and have transgressed against God. Being a Christian is just an awesomely grace-filled way of NOT having to face our due punishment. God does not owe us forgiveness.
Let me ask you a question Weydon: what makes one a bad person? And what do I have to do to get to heaven or hell?

LOL I would be deeply hurt and angered if you weren't so abundantly, laughably wrong.

Why, throw your hand into a hat, pull out a piece of paper. Read what religion is written on it. DEFEND EVERY VALUE THAT RELIGION SAYS UNTIL YOU DIE! Now hope that you were right!
If being a Christian is the ONLY thing that saves us mediocre humans, that's pretty random and HORRIBLE. I will not abandon the others in this world that are just as good as, if not better than, us. I cannot abandon the ones that I love.
