Question: Is hell exothermic or does it take in heat

Hi osman – I saw a really great answer to this question once, so I’m going to shamelessly copy it:

“First, We assume that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. There are always evil people dying, and we must assume that they go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to be increasing continually.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the volume of hell must increase proportionally with the mass of all the souls coming into hell.

Two options exist for the increase in the volume of hell:
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. 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 quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during 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 Option 2 cannot be true…Thus, hell is exothermic.”

I hope that answers your question 😉
