Do all presidents go to hell?

[Tmy]

Wathing the Reagan funeral made me think. Depending on how you thought ofthe guy you can paint him as the devil or a saint. But what would God do?

If your president of the US chances are you had a hand in some shady business. Or you made decisions that directly killed or hurt thousands of people. Sure mostof the time its done with good intentions but you know the old saying about the road to hell.

Since God knows no nationality or patriotism, how does a President excuse his naughtyness.

I think you are being a trifle naive when you assert that

God knows no nationality or patriotism

As far as I am aware, from 1757 to 1947 God was English and following the break-up of the Empire, transferred his allegiance to the United States.

As God is now officially American (the nationality not the poster) all U.S. presidents to die since Kennedy have gone straight to heaven. Prior to that date it was by referral to HM Government

The nationality of God has changed as follows:

4004 BC - c60 AD Jewish
60 AD - 475 AD Roman
475AD - 1453 AD Turkish
1453AD - 1757 AD Spanish

For the record, during the period while God was English the following American presidents were sent straight to hell:

Washington; Adams J.; Madison; Polk

the following went straight to heaven

Lincoln; Wilson

The rest were presumably in purgatory until '47

This old saw might answer your question!

"Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof."

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.

Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

So...as for your original question....the answer is yes.

No, but most of them spend either 4 or 8 years in it before they die.

Funny you should ask, when I just came across this gem from the extreme religious right:

http://www.godhatesamerica.com

Gee, I link to that man’s sight way too much. I’m just always amazed how far Phelps will push it, Mr. Rodgers, Pat Tillman, and now--and I was genuinely surprised this time--Reagan in Hell.

There’s just no pleasing some folks, particularly some Gods. I doubt any president has escaped at least a cigarette burn in the afterlife.

Phelps is going to picket Reagan's funeral? ALRIGHT! This oughta be PRICELESS!

FINALLY, some entertainment from all this Reagan-worship...

 

[AtheistArchon]

- Reagan is already in DC... Phelps will get nowhere near the coffin. But you're right, I'd love to see him try... and I'd love to catch it on tape.

- I wouldn't be surprised if they had secret service agents assigned specifically to Phelps, actually.

Oh, no doubt, I'm just looking forward to see the reaction from all the good conservative Republicans.

God Almighty lays out the curses He will bring upon any nation that fails to keep His commandments, and the culmination of those curses is that you will eat your children (Deut. 28:53)!!! You will be so sore pressed that you won't share their flesh with your husbands and wives, your neighbors and friends! You will hover over them like the beasts that you are!

And why shouldn't you eat your babies? You eat fag feces like it was the bread of life! You have refused to fear "THE LORD THY GOD" (Deut. 28:58).

Classic!

"You will hover over them like the beasts that you are!" This is awesome stuff!

 

[Bottle or the Gun]

What makes you think Reagan was actually in the coffin? All the photos I've seen had it remain closed.

All we needed right now is some nut with C-4 to throw his backpack on the coffin and spread Ronnie-butter all over the viewing area. That would play on Al Jazeera for years.

Good morning Mr. Phelps.....your
mission,should you decide to accept it,is to prevent Mr. Phelps from harrassing a dead body.

I remember a time when people actually, literally, thought that Reagan was the antichrist. In retrospect, it seems unlikely that the antichrist would slowly diminish on his ranch in southern California. With the benefit of history, we can now see more clearly that it must be Hillary Clinton.

Bush:
"His work is done, and now a shining city awaits him...."

Shining city?
So, we can cross off Baghdad. That one's fairly straightforward.

The fires must be burning particularly bright!
No need to read the map by the glow of a cigarette lighter where he is going, I dare say.
Other than that, gravity should be leading him in the right direction .

I leave you tonight in peace with this Reagan quote:

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

(During a microphone check on August 11 1984, unaware that he was being broadcast.)
