What kind of government would Heaven and Hell have?

Forgewolf · May 25, 2015, 11:24:02 AM

I personally believe Heaven would have an Authoritarian government, while Hell would have Anarchy.

Fuck that shit. Satan is a businessman through and through. Democracy. Everybody takes a vote on how sinners burn.

Anarchy is merely the lack of a hierarchical structure, meaning that all citizens have the same amount of political power as the next citizen. That doesn't sound too bad.

Which realm? Or both? Or are you saying I'm brainwashed?

Depends on your interpretation of the two, if you go by the generic view of them both (Dante's inferno // Pearly gates) then you have two Autocracies <.<

What God says goes in heaven, what Satan says goes in hell.

Or if you go with the much more boring views of the two, where you either disappear from existence (hell) or go into stasis to wait out the end of creation (heaven) which I think is one of the 'official' interpretations of heaven and hell. I could be wrong though.

Yes, absolute monarchies. That's why Lucifer rebelled, like a true American patriot.

Pretty much, I don't imagine you could get into heaven and argue with god over the way things are run with any hope in hell of succeeding.

Isn't hell equally a place for Satan's punishment as it is sinners? Isn't God the ruler of hell?

Something like that if you go with the proper interpretation of things >.>

Casting down those who defied god (which is impressive given how I thought angels didn't have free will) and the sinners they lead astray to burn in hell for eternity or something like that.

Both would have authoritarian Governments, but Heaven would be ruled by a (very) benevolent dictator, and Hell would be ruled by a bloodthirsty tyrant like Saddam Hussein.

I loled.. They said all the best rock bands are going to hell too

Satan accepts everybody
God accepts only those who worship him
Satan sounds like a better leader

Any place that would have us running it would be hell to live in.

I think that might be the Muslim one. Because the Catholics say you go to one or the other, or spend some time in Purgatory until you draw the card that lets you pass Go and collect $200.

OT: Heaven is a Benevolent Monarchy, Hell is an Authoritarian Dictatorship.
