Does Hell Have a Population Clock?

C.S. Lewis said the unsaved lock themselves in Hell from the inside. I agree with that. They want to be eternally separated from God even though they know somewhere deep down inside they are going to burn (figuratively speaking since it is a fire judgment not physical fire) in the Lake of Fire for eternity. They prefer that.

I once heard a minister tell a fanciful story of a busload of hell's inmates who were given a 30-day furlough for some R&R in heaven. They all came back the first night because heaven was so disagreeable. There were no wild parties, no clothing-optional beaches, no bars, no night clubs, no porn, no fighting, no pigging-out at buffets, no profanity, no fibbing, no gratuitous sex, no vulgarity, no exotic dancers, no mayhem movies, no television violence, no off-color comedy, no junk food, no tobacco, no marijuana, no meth, no ecstasy, no LSD, no hunting for sport, no fishing for sport, and no vices like gambling and prostitution.

And the hellsters didn't particularly care for the isolation. None of the good folk in heaven wanted to associate with them: they were ostracized, they were segregated, they were quarantined, and they were kept under guard.

Heaven is a pleasant utopia. It's etiquette, its dress code, and its rules of conduct and civility; were way too strict for the hellsters. Especially suffocating is the mandatory self control everyone has to exercise in their choice of words to avoid hurting people's feelings.

In other words: heaven is a place prepared for a prepared people. Normal people would quite naturally find heaven disagreeable-- they just wouldn't fit in --especially with its lack of privacy, its 24-7 Big Brother oversight, and its strict codes of conduct. Take for example Wall Street barracudas. Do you really think they'd be happy in heaven? No. Or sweat shop operators? No. Or influence peddlers? No. Or cruel despots like Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong Un? No. Or adulterers and fornicators? No. Or J-walking pedestrians? No. Or gays and lesbians? No. Or greedy businessmen like Phil Knight, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates? Or unscrupulous social networking moguls like Mark Zuckerberg? Or sports bookies? Or activists? No. No. No. You see many of the things that interest hell's inmates are unacceptable in heaven; and in point of fact, none of heaven's people any longer have an interest in many of the things that interest hell's people.

You know what else is lacking in heaven? Religious tolerance. There is only one religion in heaven. What's that tell you? Well; it tells me that the establishment clause of the US Construction's first amendment doesn't fly in heaven. The government in heaven insists upon dictating everyone's religious preference.

In other words; Heaven's utopian society, coupled with its 24/7 Big Brother oversight, was just simply too much to ask in exchange for some time off. To hear the inmates tell it: heaven should be outlawed.

The irony is the 'normal people' are really abnormal. And the spiritual Christian is the 'normal' one. The carnal Christian though saved is being abnormal even though there are more carnal Christians than spiritual Christians, and more abnormal people than normal since most are unsaved and seemingly unsalvageable.
