    Because a highway has a greater capacity than a stairway, this implies that more people are going to hell than heaven.

    yes there is a highway to hell, Hell is locates in Michigin, not sure about the stairway to heaven tho

    Because it is much easier to fall into a life of selfishness and evil than it is to live a life of selflessness and spiritual principle. Broad is the way to hell and narrow is the way to heaven.

    A highway is wider and more people travel qn it..where a stairway is not as wide and fewer people will travel on it.

    The highway to hell is perpetually under construction, so expect long delays as you weave your way amongst endless lines of orange barrels. Part of the torture of hell is just getting there. :-\

    The road to Hell MI is not much of a highway.

    But the road to perdition is broad and easy. I don't know why. I guess when Adam and Eve gave over Lordship to this earth to Satan they gave Satan all the highways.

    Maybe that's why they are the leading killer of young people?

    Ask Angus Young, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page that question

    In reference to the highway to hell, it's because there's so many on it headed there, its a straight shot when you don't believe in Jesus.

    It's easier to fly down the highway than it is to take the stairs! (meaning the stairs are harder to climb to get to eternity in Heaven).

    or

    The highway is to hell because you really have to screw-up over and over and over to get there.

    The stairs to Heaven are shorter because it just requires living your life for Jesus and only saying a few words (ie I repent...please forgive me...) and of course meaning them to get there!

    Because it is more work to get to heaven then it is to go to hell

    ie the highway and stair reference
