A joke about the afterlife

A human dies and is greeted by someone who identifies themselves as a Tour Guide. He beckons the new arrival to a helicopter and they fly over a beautiful forest. After that they pass over a dark, fiery chasm that smells of blood and feces. Horrific screams can be heard coming out of it.
They then arrive at a gorgeous meadow with stunning trees, a crystal clear stream, and there are a great many people, all smiling. They're playing the best music anyone has ever heard; they're cooking the most delicious food anyone has ever tasted, they are creating the most stunning works of art, and having the most fulfilling discussions.
The tour guide says "You can create anything you want here. You can even fly to a different climate if you like. Heck, if you ever want to go back to Earth, just talk to someone and we can get it arranged. It's your choice as to what you wish to do!"
The human says, "Wow! This is amazing! This isn't what I would told it would be like! This is awesome! But...what about that terrible area we flew over before we got here? The place with those gut-wrenching screams?"
"Oh, that" the tour guide says sadly with a shake of his head. "That's for the Christians. They just wouldn't have it any other way."

A good joke. Interesting to see that a "good Christian" has left a comment that proves that all good jokes have a gem of truth in them.
If I believed in heaven and hell I think I would chose hell. That's where all the interesting people are.

This joke reminds me of a live show by Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean). In one of the sketches he plays the devil who welcomes new guests to hell. So he says to the jews: Stand in that corner and to the christians you go to the other side because I've got news for you. They were right all the time.
I'm not offended by your joke. I'm more offended by the thought of hell.
