And they fake going to church too. And to their families. And friends. I dont think so. They say they are Christians and so they are Christians.

You would never describe yourself as a Christian.

You describe yourself as a christian and you are lying when you do so. If you were genuinely a christian, the teachings attributed to Yeshua Ibn Yosef (known in our culture as Jesus Christ) would be the central focus of your faith. But instead, you are far more wrapped in the Old Testament message of God's wrath. You long to see others punished and you love to hold yourself as being better than other people. And you exactly the kind of person who would have gladly taken part in the crucifixion.

And although I question the divinity of Yeshua Ibn Yosef, I see value in his teachings. In this regard, I would indeed describe myself as a christian. Indeed, far more christian than you.

Jesus did not do away with the Old Testament. He was its fulfilment.

Saying that in no way changes or even challenges the assertion that the Old Testament is the focus of your faith rather than the teachings attributed to Jesus.

The whole Bible is the focus of my belief. Jesus is the savior. As he will give me and everyone else life again. I look to the future. You are stuck in the past.

Old Testament ban. Not Kosher. But you enjoy your abomination. You ARE an atheist right?

Agnostic fundamentalist. But at the moment, i'm defending magic, so we are a team again.

Anyway, back to the original question... where do the shrimps go? I mean, ok, not heaven... but hell, or they cease to exist? Or god eats them and simply does not want to share? Most likely, methinks.
