An interesting thought

No, despite what the title suggests, I've had many interesting thoughts lately thank you, but this one is, I suppose, Particularly Interesting.

Question: Where did Jesus go during the intervening 3 days between His death and His Resurrection? Did He return to Heaven for a chat and a cuppa with the Father, or sit in the mouldy cave and twiddle His thumbs waiting for the angels to roll back the tombstone?

Hypothesis (and the Interesting Thought): Natch to both the above suggestions. He spent the three days in Hell! Figure out for yourselves why. This is defeinitely not Chruch doctrine, but it makes an odd sort of sense.

Bonus homework for extra brownie points: Did Jesus really spend only three days in Hell? Is He there, burning still? Since the Hypothesis imples God has tossed a part of Himself into Hell, what does this mean to God, and us? (Hint: define Hell. Extra hint: heat ain't got nuthin' to do with the answer. Ditto for flames, horns, pointy tails and cheesy pitchforks--but you knew that already. Didn't you?)

Caution: If you're going to discuss this with a pastor, make sure he's one of the open-minded ones. Otherwise, don't mention names.
