Not quite on topic, but riddle me this:
Lucifer gets kicked out of heaven for being a bit of a cad right?

so why would he spend his time punishing the people who don't do what god wants?

he wouldn't, that'd be stupid.

hell is going to be like a all-night party that remains at the good bit where things have just got a bit crazy and weird but everyone is still having a good time. for all eternity.

awesome

And Hell
is when eternity ends and the hangover kicks in?

Dude, it was my understanding from the small print
in the eternity contract that it doesn't end - maybe that's what hell is though - eternally getting what you want and never having to fight for anything.

Yeah, I have always thought that some pious cunts definition of hell might be my definition of a good time.

Can't fault that reasoning
I kinda hope hell exists now.

Also...
If Heaven did exist, it'd be full of do-gooders, why'd you want to go there?

Bully gets beaten by a bigger bully
Does he

a) go all chilled out and relaxed, saying to everyone else 'hey, it's all good'? or

b) take it out on everyone smaller than him like the sadistic little evil sod he is?

Lucifer didn't rebel because he wanted to overthrow the tyrant and free everyone. He rebelled because he wanted to be the new tyrant. See endless threads about crap bosses etc. for what happens when a petty tyrant gets given power over a small domain.

you make a reasonable point
but I think he's smarter than that

wants to get back at god, so what better way to say fuck you than to reward the people who don't do what god wants.

that aside, as Terry Pratchett and/or Neil Gaiman wrote in Good Omens, the only musicians/composers in heaven will be Elgar and Liszt. We can probably expand that to include Cliff Richard.

Not a place I want to be

Yeah but
Cliff's a sodomist. So I reckon even he will be joining us down there.

MatJ made a post down the page (one or two posts after the pic of the poor starving person) that is relevant here:

What was it that Machiavelli said?
"I desire to go to hell, not heaven. In the former I shall enjoy the company of princes, kings and popes; but in the latter, only beggars, monks and apostles".
