I'm a christian, so may I put in my two cents after considering all these
things? Starting from the beginning...
Hell is a place of eternal suffering. Christians worship God, who is in no
way related with Hell. By worship I mean: to praise and honor, to exalt, to
hold in high esteem, to love, to obey, to tell of, etc. Things not at all
related to Hell.
About the whole Satan thing, Satan is an angel who rebelled against God, and
being defeated, lives in Hell. Satan is the ultimate evil, the Father of
Now, after God created the universe (as he did), and created humans (he did
that too), they rebelled also. This caused the whole earth to fall into
That means we would all have to go the Hell, except...
God, who loves people and wants to be with them, sent Jesus to earth to save
us. Jesus is %100 God and %100 man at the same time. Jesus died for every
wrong thing everyone has ever done and ever will do, so that we can go to
Anyone, *anyone*, who believes that Jesus died for them will be saved from
death, e.g. go the Heaven. Anyone who does not will go the Hell.
Jesus is always with us, and in us, but at the end of the earth, he will
return in physical, visible form, in great glory and majesty. All the
christians remaining on earth will be taken to heaven. To quote the Bible,
In short, Hell is not a thing of worship. Anyone who will worship the enemy
of there souls, or his dwelling place, must be insane, or ignorant, or both.
True christians (and many people say they are and are not) do not worship
contrary to there very existence. They worship God, spread his good news
(Jesus), and wait for his second coming.
