CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
A hypothetical question

Your hipothetical question doesn't work for the following reasons:
first, you haven't understood what takes a person to heaven or hell. You seem to think that, according to Christianity, Heaven is the reward for the righteous ones. It is not so. Not one of us deserve to go to Heaven on account of our behaviour. We have all sinned, and are not worthy to be with God.
Second, God and Satan are not two "rulers" of different places. One is the Creator of the whole universe (Heaven, Hell and Satan all included); the other, a creation who rebelled against Him.
Third, there is no way to separate God and Heaven. Wherever God is, there is no sin there; it is Heaven. Hell is to be without God, separated from Him, which is where Satan is.
So, to answer your question in light of these problems: yes, I'd still ask God to forgive me for my countless sins, and have faith that I'll be forever with Him in "Hell" (I'm using the name you gave), where there is no pain, no corruption and no sin.
