Ways to go to Hell: the modern offences guide

I'm a convert of Quora.com a community that welcomes questions from anyone over the age of 13, and whose members attempt to answer those questions.
Here's my profile link so you can check out my answers to some curly questions.

An intriguing question I attempted to answer today was about what things lead a person to going to hell.... and some people made some amazing answers. Here's my list, composed while travelling in a winter rain storm.

Raping, killing, maiming, neglecting children.
Abducting/using children for sexual pleasure. (Family members are often guilty of this, it's not always strangers)
Abusing animals.
Discharging toxic waste anywhere. (PCBs are now found in tiny creatures living in the deepest depths of the ocean) the GE designers and builders of Fukashima power plant are on this list: you know who you are.

Operating drones in order to kill people.

Acting as if your actions have no effect on others or the welfare of the planet.
Sitting back and not acting to prevent harm when you see it happening in front of you. Corporate employees are deeply guilty of this.
Allowing injustice to go unchallenged.
Failing to assist those in need.
Manufacturing, supplying and using firearms and other weapons designed only to slaughter other human beings.
Following mindless prejudices just because that's what your parents believed.

What kinds of things do you think would lead a person to eternal damnation in hell, in modern times?

Certainly the list of things that seem like they may cause people to go to hell has expanded over the simple old sins by quite a lot.

Why do sober guys try to seduce drunk girls?

This is a big reason I no longer get drunk at parties, because drunk girls ARE an easy rape/sex target. These guys don’t have the social skills to persuade sober chicks to lay them, so they target drunk girls as a better opportunity. From the news I've read and discussions I have been a part of there’s quite a lot of men hanging out at any party any part of the world these days checking to see when some chick falls asleep or collapses comatose from drugs or alcohol and they have this idea that drunk girls have no memory of what is happening to them. These men are lazy and socially inept. They also want power over women. "I grew up in a little town in Oxfordshire. I was part of a rebellious crowd. We did drugs and weren't very serious about school. I had lots of relationships, but I wouldn’t describe any of them as romantic. I was looking for one thing: sex. That’s what my life was about when I was that age, chasing girls. I became very preoccupied with pornog...

Publishing Alternatives

Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing has benefited many authors, but now many small scale authors are beginning to suffer from Amazon randomly cancelling their accounts. Amazon instead of deleting the accounts of click farm scammers, is removing the publishing accounts accounts of hundreds, maybe thousands of small self-published authors who, at one time or another, actually had a book or two bought by a scammer click-farm account. Some people I know who have had this unfair deletion of their accounts and books by the retailer have despaired and quit writing and publishing altogether. Despair This causes me sincere frustration and I’ll share with you my reasons why. Part the First: Over the past 50 years at least professional publishers worldwide have packaged and sold books by millions of authors in different ways depending on where in the world the sale of the books were made. Book sales areas and pricing were tightly controlled. Many books availabl...

Thoughts for prospective parents

Don’t treat parenthood as if it were a ‘THING’. Being a parent is a natural evolving human process throughout a normal life span. Without people with intelligence who are willing to be parents, we will continue to have plenty of children bred by those who are less able, and few or none, by those who are more able. For the survival of our mammal species we need girls and boys in equal numbers. Tinker with that quotient at the risk of everyone. Children are people who will remember often in great detail EVERYTHING YOU DO. They are not pets , nor are they property or inconvenient baggage. Treat children like this at your peril. Your children need to know what their basic needs are: Water, food, shelter, warmth/cooling, companionship. If you don’t teach your children practical skills , you are letting them down. They need to know how to use tools to make things, get food, re-use things, adapt things to the use they ...
