Ten per cent of Brits believe they're going to Hell – I think I might be one of them
(PS: My words. The fundi's would say I am too-my answer 'as long as I don't have to spend eternity with you, that's fine :15: )

I'm NOT superstitious, but I am a little stitious,” fictional idiot David Brent’s American counterpart, Michael Scott, once said.
Realising that you identify with an idiot is hard. Realising that you identify with a caricature of an idiot is harder. But I am, sadly, a little stitious myself.
Much like the ten per cent of the British population who, according to a recent YouGov survey, believe that Hell exists and they’re going straight there when they die. OK, there’s a difference between being religious and being superstitious (or slightly stitious, even). But it’s often hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. And I suspect that many of those who think their souls are Hell-bound are the kind of people who, like me, avoid walking under ladders.
