I pity you all who doubt the existance of GOD. He is alive. I believe it though I do not see him, I do not hear his voice in the physical world, I do not touch him.
Yet, I feel him, GOD works through your emotions. the weakest part of you he strengthens, I feel GOD.
That is proof enough for me.
I pity those who say GOD is not real for you donot ...[text shortened]... t will rule for a thousand years! the New World Order was prophesied. SO is the rule of Christ.

That's very kind. I appreciate your support; however, it's important not to let our emotions get in the way of a fair debate. Let's give everyone here a chance.
debating is an art form and the result should be decided on the quality of the arguments put forward only. I would sugest a no heckling rule during the debate itself.

How hot is it in Hell ?
(Maybe a true story...???)
A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate
students. It had one question:
"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are 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 how many souls are entering Hell, let's 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 since 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 of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities.
#1 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.
#2 Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year, "That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and so Hell is exothermic.
The student got the only A.

EDIT: sorry I know you have all probably seen this several times before (it does the spam email rounds every 3 years or so,) But it just seemed so apropriate.
