He's not supposed to be in hell until after the final judgement.
Presently,he's supposed to be here on earth (to where he was cast down).
When is the first judgement going to happen ?
And where is he so we can meet and chat about things ?

Noone has any personal experience with the one you think is GOD.
This is why no one can later talk about it, without sliding deeply into delusions all affected by various themes.
It surely amazes me and anyone with a clear and unguilty soul that you so easily accept the stories you have been fed.
Let me put it this way, if the veil ever gets pulled off, you will be just as bad, or even worse off than the Satanists you fear, and pity.
Claire Kuchever: What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world, but you knew they'd never believe you?
Doug Carlin: I'd try.

God doesn't lie either - but he veils the truth from those who consider themselves wise in their own eyes. Finding the truth is a matter of humility and the acceptance of our need for grace (nobody can be counted pure in the eyes of God... Perseverance in seeking the person of God is the key. If we knock, the door will be opened. After that, it's just a matter of time until he 'leads us into all truth' by the power of His Spirit.
