"Or, is says that a lot of people spend a lot of time doing things wrong, that they know are wrong, and do them anyway..." But if they REALLY believed in Hell as the survey indicates, then this makes no sense. If YOU truly believed you were going to be tortured in the most terrible agony without surcease for an eternal time--would this have no bearing on your behavior? If one believes that one is going to go to Hell, then what else does one believe? That one is powerless to make any difference? That God is fundamentally evil? I assume they (the respondents) are mostly familiar with and assuming the Christian "God" and the Christian "Hell". So what in the Hell would permit a human being to believe they were destined for Hell unless they thought they had no choice in the matter? Do they believe their "evil" is immanent and irrevocable?
