How infinite is hell?

Somehow your use of math to determine non-mathematical results reminds me of Foundation...

About one and a half square kilometers

More importantly, can we stick a geothermal plant in hell?

I was going to find the area of a much closer Hell to myself, but eventually settled on the whole state (close enough). 250,500 km².

No, Satan is an old bastard and refuses to sell his land.

And if he's promised a nice 20% cut all to himself?

There is no hell lol

Hey look, a blatant troll.
Assuming there could be a hell, how infinite would it be? That is the question here.

I think it is naive to try and apply mathematics, a tool for understanding the known universe, to something that, by its very nature, has to be extra-universal. Time may not even exist in heaven or hell.

That said, that is exactly my problem with Walhalla. 100 years of eating and mayhem? Yes please. 1000 years? Meh. 10000? Good gods, bring on the Ragnarok already.

Isn't the term infinite supposed to mean literally forever/indefinite etc? Or maybe I'm missing the point here?

He still refused, he demanded we also offered Health Insurance to the Demons who would work in the plant. That selfish bastard.

How infinite? That's like asking how pregnant someone is. It's either infinite or not, there are no steps regarding infinite.

However, i'd say that by current count, Hell is made up of nearly seven billion people.

It's the same principle with divergence.

Wait, the Devil is a for worker's rights!? :eek:

That would mean Yahweh is the greedy capitalist exploiting the angels.....that explains SO MUCH.

I was shocked by that too, yes. Then again, which side has all the Bible-thumpers? Exactly!

You see, Yahweh isn't better, he just has better PR firms, however recently, this group of whisteblowers calling themselves Angry Theoretical Human Engineers Insisting Statutory Termination of Stupidity (Atheists) have tried to weaken him though.

I imagine if there actually was a Hell it wouldn't be required to work by any logic or reason we're familiar with.

Exactly. Why should we assume that a place outside of human reasoning would follow the laws of mathematics, physics or common decency?

How is it 'outside of human reasoning'?
That phrase doesn't really mean anything.

Eh. I do not believe in God, but if God is anything like the Christians claim, it must by its very nature not be bound by natural laws.

infinitely imaginary. kharma is real enough, but non-phisical existence, should it happen to exist, is placeless.

Which is one of the many things that make Yahweh logically impossible.

When will you get it through your pointy eared skull that maybe everything doesn't need to be so damn logical all the time! Perhaps logic is itself an illogical attempt to bring a false sense of order to a strange and unpredictable universe.

Damn green blooded goblin...

How infinite is hell?
