Is it true that Stop Drop and Roll doesn't work in Hell?

In another question, there was a Christian who stated that apparently when atheists go to hell, stop drop and roll will not be an option when we are lit on fire by Satan and his pitch fork!

Can we bring fire extinguishers with us? I'm a little concerned because apparently I will be going to hell for voting for Barack Obama and I just want to be ready.

Update:

I have to admit, it's easier to see the humor in fundies when they aren't in the White House.

Update 2:

Andie,

You are sooo cute!!!

Yes, it was an answer to one of Punky's questions. Honestly, one of the absolute dumbest things I've had the pleasure to read on R&S! :)

Update 3:

"Obama Bin Laden"

Oh....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

How clever you neocon! How witty!

    I totally thought about posting this question... I saw that, it was priceless. (Wasn't it a response to one of Punky's questions?)

    Bloomin' heck! Do people really expect someone to take this seriously and rush off to become Christians? If the whole of a person's belief depends on someone performing magic tricks, or seeing deep meaning in trivial coincidence, it's not a belief I'd want any part of. Quite apart from that, the portrait of the atheist professor is a pathetic caricature. No-one teaching at that level would be so unwilling to engage in any debate and get away with it year after year after year - or at least, I darn well hope no higher education system has sunk that low. And I certainly don't think much of a student body that are so utterly cowed. The whole thing is more like a cartoon than real life. I wouldn't send this to anyone, and not only because I'm not a Christian. It's badly written, clearly absurd, expects a level of thinking capacity below what I'd expect of most 8 years olds - and I wouldn't insult anyone I know with it. By the way, that doesn't mean I think you've insulted us - in this context, it's an education!!

    I was wondering why there would be a difference between atheists who go to hell and their personal options for punishment as opposed to agnostics or even those who believe in the existence of God but never chose Jesus as their personal savior...! Gee... and firepits, pitch forks, fire extinguishers... I don't know about all of that paraphernalia... too realistic for me. : )

    Yes you will go to hell for voting for Obama bin Laden. But could news is the devil has a new marketing campaign advertising air conditioned land in hell. Doesn't burn that bad anymore.

    Yes, that tactic won't make much of a difference but don't worry, *hell* is from an Old English word meaning pit, so it's just means our graves. When we die we return to the dust, to unconscious nonexistence. No suffering, no torture, no flames, nada.

    okay sorry but i don't think this is very humorous. no you aren't going to go to hell for voting for obama (your judgment was a little off though). but hell is a serious thing and not something to joke around about. we can escape hell though by believing on Jesus christ. When you go to hell it will be an eternal lake of fire you experience constant death, always have pain, sickness. but if you go to heaven you will be in an everlasting paradise with your heavenly father who cares about you

    Oh noes... I'm going to hell and I guess more than half of America and the majority of other countries are going to hell too. Hopefully stop drop and roll will work!! =O

    You will not go to Hell for voting for Obama but your sins will send you to Hell.

    I think many fundamentalist Christians are going to be surprised when they reach heaven/afterlife. My hope is that God appears to them as a black lesbian.

    It is nice to have the religious whacko out of the white house, isn't it?

    I have to admit I don't think a person will ever be prepared for hell
