Default Someone\'s going to Hell

This is a hypothetical that me and my co-workers discussed today.

It is irrelevant if you believe in Heaven and Hell for this hypothetical, if you don't believe in either just pretend they exist as defined in the situation, or do not even participate, I don't care about your personal beliefs.

You are traveling with Person X in a car, your vehicle is struck by another, and each of you are killed. God stops you before you ascend to the afterlife, and says hey either you or Person X is going to Hell. Hell will consist of enternal damnation, of the worst tourture you can possibly think of. To make it clear, the person who goes to Hell will be there forever. The person who does not get sent to Hell will be able to go to Heaven for ever, and have eternal bliss.

God says, "you get to choose who is going to Hell between you and Person X".

Do you ever choose yourself to go to Hell, and if you do who would Person X be? (Person X can be people you forsee yourself being around in the future as well, like future spouses, kids, and whatnot)

Don't waste your time looking for loopholes, in the hypothetical or whatnot. Hopefully you are smart enough to understand what I am asking, without pointing out useless stuff trying to show everyone your intellegent. People who do that for stupid hypotheticals like this are annoying.

Everyone goes to hell unless its my immediate family (mum, dad, sister) or a future wife/longterm gf, possibly kids too. Then i'd flip a coin or something.

The term you're looking for here is "you're", which is an abbreviation for "you are". Your implies possession of the article, in this case "intellegent". Nobody that I know of possesses an "intellegent". They don't possess an intelligent either.

I have to choose my own eternal damnation to send any possible human being to heaven?

One. My daughter. Otherwise, enjoy the heat.

If this were to ever happen I'd probably choose myself. The reason being I'd be sure this was some sort of test, and the potential sacrifice would be enough to get us both into Heaven.

So predictable. NicksDad1970 was right about you.
