Those without Christ are demon possessed
No. Many are. If what you say is true then everyone in the gospels not named Jesus had a demon in them. But He didn't call a demons out of everyone, only some.
Babies and children are demon possessed?
I.
Can't.
Accept.
That.
Babies and children unfortunately go to Hell if they haven't accepted Christ as all are born into sin and if they don't accept Christ they are lost.

lol of course they do.
How does a baby accept Jesus? How does a child make that decision before they are able to think? Please, or do we just baptize the kid a few weeks after they are born so we can 'save them'. Another way to indoctrinate a child into your tribe and ensure it's survival.edit on 17-3-2012 by el1jah because: (no reason given)

So no matter what every baby goes to hell? How does a baby accept Christ?

"But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."
You are insane bro? Just read what you are typing. You were one of those kids whose family forced them into believing something, who instilled fear into you from a early age. Its sad man.

If you reject the Holy God you have opened yourself to Satan and his demons to fill that void in your heart. If you let Christ fill that void you will have eternal life, if you reject it, you will be filled with death. Only one path will lead to eternal life and that path is through Jesus Christ. No other religion will save you. Chanting mantras, doing meditation, or worshipping Goddesses will save you, it will only give you a one way ticket to Hell. Once you are there you cannot escape, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Eternal separation from God.

So explain this to me.
(1) If god is omnipresent, then he is also in hell. And god rules over everything so he rules over hell so there can be separation from god and everything that happens there is at his direction. So does he torture us there?

(2) On the other hand, if there is separation from god, then there is a place he is not so he isn't omnipresent. Then are there other places he can't go? Then did he lie about the extent of his dominion?

There isn't really much biblical evidence that Hell is an actual place where one is tortured so, that's moot... This is really just an extension of the free will analogy, which can also be read like this: Can God make something so heavy that he cannot lift it?
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
Jesus says “And they will go away into Eternal Punishment, but the Righteous will go into Eternal Life.”
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
And the smoke from their torture will go up forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have no rest day or night, along with anyone who receives the mark of his name.
"...hell delivered up the dead which were in them...And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, as will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
