Will Lady Gaga go to hell?

I have also noticed that in this world you find wickedness where justice and right ought to be. I told myself, “God is going to judge the righteous and the evil alike, because every thing, every action, will happen at its own set time.” I decided that God is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. After all, the same fate awaits human beings and animals alike. One dies just like the other. They are the same kind of creature. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either. They are both going to the same place—the dust. They both came from it; they will both go back to it. How can anyone be sure that the human spirit goes upward while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground? So I realized then that the best thing we can do is enjoy what we have worked for. There is nothing else we can do. There is no way for us to know what will happen after we die.

... How can anyone know what is best for us in this short, useless life of ours—a life that passes like a shadow? How can we know what will happen in the world after we die?

...No one knows anything about what lies ahead. It makes no difference. The same fate comes to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the bad, to those who are religious and those who are not, to those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. A good person is no better off than a sinner; one who takes an oath is no better off than one who does not. One fate comes to all alike, and this is as wrong as anything that happens in this world. As long as people live, their minds are full of evil and madness, and suddenly they die. But anyone who is alive in the world of the living has some hope; a live dog is better off than a dead lion. Yes, the living know they are going to die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward; they are completely forgotten. Their loves, their hates, their passions, all died with them. They will never again take part in anything that happens in this world.

Go ahead—eat your food and be happy; drink your wine and be cheerful. It's all right with God. 8 Always look happy and cheerful. 9 Enjoy life with the one you love, as long as you live the useless life that God has given you in this world. Enjoy every useless day of it, because that is all you will get for all your trouble. 10 Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead—and that is where you are going.

...Be grateful for every year you live. No matter how long you live, remember that you will be dead much longer. There is nothing at all to look forward to.

...So remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days and years come when you will say, “I don't enjoy life.” That is when the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars will grow dim for you, and the rain clouds will never pass away. Then your arms, that have protected you, will tremble, and your legs, now strong, will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to chew your food, and your eyes too dim to see clearly. Your ears will be deaf to the noise of the street. You will barely be able to hear the mill as it grinds or music as it plays, but even the song of a bird will wake you from sleep. You will be afraid of high places, and walking will be dangerous. Your hair will turn white; you will hardly be able to drag yourself along, and all desire will be gone.

We are going to our final resting place, and then there will be mourning in the streets. The silver chain will snap, and the golden lamp will fall and break; the rope at the well will break, and the water jar will be shattered. Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us.

"Useless, useless", said the Philosopher. "It is all useless."

I believe under Christian doctrine saying someone will get into Heaven or health is itself a serious sin.

As I'm a non-believer would any theologians confirm this. It is to do with passing Judgment (capital J) which is God's role, in the Abrahamic faiths.

Jesus went to Hell for the 3 1/2 days.

Friday afternoon or evening (depending on which gospel you take as gospel) until Sunday morning: that's less than 48 hours.

The only thing clearly relevant is the second one, but I'm asking about the Christian position not the Islamic position.

Judge others on the same way you wish to be judged by the lord(with different wording)

As long as you dont mind being judged with the same scrutiny you are using when your time comes you are good to go

Edit:
Mathew 7.2

1"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?…

Yes you are quite right, the scriptures say 3 days, I keep having the "two Witnesses" of Revelation in mind who are resurrected after 3 1/2 days, Revelation 11

Ga Ga (like Madonna, and Springsteen) is Catholic.

So shouldn't "Purgatory" be on option in the survey as well?

God (or the Pope, rather) abolished that place. I wonder why a perfect being would create it in the first place, then?

It doesn't state that these chaps went to Hell for 3.5 days--only that they were dead for that period of time.

Oh really?

Like fish on Friday, they got rid of purgatory?

When did they do that?

Did they get rid of "Limbo" as well?

And dont forget the Child Martyrs who were Beatified as Saints by the Catholic Church but subsequently had their Sainthood status removed when the Church wanted to be Politically correct.
I can just imagine those little infants, after hundreds of years in Heaven, answering peoples prayers, then having to pack their little bags and go with Jesus and God waving goodbye.
