It's pretty simple, really. I don't believe in the classical Christian concept of Hell any more than I do the Greek Hades, or Carroll's Wonderland. They're all equally fictitious, in my opinion, so they have the same weight of reality in my speech. That's all.
"Going to hell in a handbasket" as a colloquialism for chaos somehow got transmuted in popular culture to "On the bus to hell". Driving the bus would be the head chaos position. That'd be me, tongue firmly in cheek.
It's rather like the use of the term 'Mecca' in Western culture. To a devout Muslim, it's somewhere between blasphemy and just-not-right. To anyone not Muslim, it's just a word to mean 'the absolute center point'. I'm sure they don't get it either.

Very cool getting to stay home with the family.
I've been trying to imagine what I'll do when/if kids enter the picture, and oy.
