FAQ: How crowded is Hell?
REPLY: It's much worse than some of us ever thought.
According to Matt 7:13-14 and Matt 22:14; relatively few make it to safety in the
afterlife compared to relatively many that don't. Bear with me while I flesh this out.
According to the US Census Bureau: as of Apr 14, 2023, @ 02:56 pm New York
Time, the resident population in the United States was approximately 334,624,307
with a death rate of approximately one every 10 seconds; which translates to an
average of 8,640 American deaths of all ages, races, and genders during just one
24-hour calendar day.
According to 2009 US Census data; roughly 27.3% of America's daily deaths were
under the age of 19, which would indicate that approximately 6,281 of the current
daily death rate per 24 hours are adults.
Giving the "many" the benefit of the doubt by limiting their maximum percentage to
51%, would indicate a minimum of 3,203 American adults transferring to perdition
every day: which translates to roughly 133 per hour.
That's a very conservative estimate as Christ didn't really specify exact percentages
to represent the quantities of "few" and "many". But just think: by the time CBS
completes its half hour evening news report, a bare-bones minimum of 67
Americans become new arrivals in the fiery sector of the netherworld.
Using the ratio of 3,203 condemned souls per 334,624,307 population: computing
the number of condemned souls worldwide from a currently estimated global
population of 7,963,623,307 people, would suggest something like 76,227 new
arrivals in the fiery sector of the netherworld every 24 hours; which translates to
roughly 3,176 souls every sixty minutes on the clock.
Yankee Stadium's football seating capacity is 54,251. At the rate of 3,176 souls per
hour, those seats would be filled in roughly 17 hours and 05 minutes. In other
words: by 11:05 pm NY time tonight the stadium's seats would be maxed if the
world's daily number of condemned souls started filing into the stadium at 06:00
am NY time this morning.
Christmas and New Year are even worse. A study done of 26 years of death
certificates shows that coronary fatalities are, on average, 11.9% higher on those
days than any other days of the year; with non-heart deaths spiking to 12.2%
higher.
The netherworld never closes; no, not at all: it's open for business 24/7/365
nonstop and indifferent to climate change, Wall Street crashes, massive layoffs,
outsourcing, high school shootings, terrorism, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes,
storm surges, nuclear meltdowns, global warming, air, water, and soil pollution, a
mission to Mars, freeway pile-ups, brown-outs, threatened species, the price of oil,
Falun Gong organ harvesting, election fraud, pipelines, student debt, GMO, trade
deficits, high fructose corn syrup, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Kim Jong-Un's nukes,
Federal debt, pandemics, overpopulation, desertification, genocides, revolutions,
civil wars, acid rain, road rage, oil spills, conscious decoupling, ISIS, LGBT
marriage, blood diamonds, fracking, twerking, transgender confusion, the conflict in
Ukraine, Communist infiltration, and/or former US President Donald Trump's
indictment.
If standard Christianity's perception of Jesus Christ and the hereafter is correct;
then it's apparent that souls never stop cascading into the abyss in an endless
procession like the unbelievable millions of poultry broilers passing annually
through Tyson chicken-processing plants on their way to Wendy's, McDonalds,
Carl's Junior, Jack in the Box, Burger King, Chic-fil-A, KFC, A&W, Arby's, Dairy
Queen, Taco Bell, et al; and to supermarkets and restaurants all over the USA and
wherever else Tyson vends its meats. The slaughtering and the butchering never
stop.
