Exactly the opposite (20% rightists). But they'll like Satan.

Divide 10 by 0. It is a value of non existance.
The value of 10/0 is a value of non existance.
Is the value of 10/0, identical to a set of values, the set being 0 to 10?
No, it has the values 1 through 10, none of which are equal to a non existant value-they exist.
0 is NOT equal to a non existant value for the same reason as the ones above, 0 is a defined value, 10/0 is not.
10/0 != 0
YEY FOR MATH!
0-10% is not the same as no hell. It is the same of, at best, an unpopulated hell.

I'm sorry your stupid, that really is more of a problem on your end then mine but lucky to you i'm sympathetic and i'll help.
I can fix that problem with education but only if you listen... or if you sign a paper allowing me to surgerically force you to listen.

I think the actual percentage will be lower..

Maybe, but how can 100% deserve to be there forever with only a finite life span in which to have built up guilt? Only a finite amount of punishment can be earned in a finite period of time.
Christianity's insistance on everbody deserving eternal punishment has always been the part that makes the least sense to me.

as I said
I dont' beleive in a place of eternal punishment
what I mean by 100% deserve hell, is that 100% deserve the opposite of heaven
which is eternal nothingness

I agree, if there is anything that can be called hell, it is probably this earth
what the alternate eternal afterlife to heaven is, is eternal nonexistence..

That's one of the more radical things, and is why our time here on earth is so valuable. The fact that we have an eternal reward in heaven, as opposed to our short time here on earth, should remind people as to what is truly important.
Secondly, it isn't a matter of earning punishment, one would think one would earn our heavenly reward, but that is not the case. The heavenly reward is a free gift of God, and as such, we cannot earn it through our works here on earth.
Therefore, if it is God who determines our eternal fate, then this is more important than our sins. He can forgive us our sins, if we are willing to love him as he loves us.

is it because you don't like bliss or because you doubt that the eternal bliss would actually be blissful?
I wouldn't mind eternal bliss anywhere but I rather doubt there is anyplace, including Heaven, where it can be had.
