Have Christians thought about Heaven and Hell being very crowded?

OP, you are being too literal.

Hilarious.

You know it is.

There is nothing in the Bible about the maximum capacity of Heaven, but it does say who is not going there:

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. —Revelation 20:15

Your name is written in the book of life when:

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. —Romans 10:9

So you can miss mass and still get into heaven? If so, Catholics should switch sects.

The exterminators only go to hell. And it not due to overpopulation it's because heaven doesn't want hell to rise against them.

If a Catholic is going to Mass, or a Protestant to church for that matter, believing out of fear that church attendance and eating a cracker will keep you from going there, I would tell such person what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 13:5

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Church is not a vehicle you get in and it delivers you to heaven. Without faith, you might ride in that vehicle but you will disembark at an unpleasant stop.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.. —Hebrews 11:6

People of faith often go to church regularly, too. Maybe you don't, believing that all you need is faith in God to get to heaven. Lots of Christians don't believe that faith is enough. you have to follow the rules, too.

The space is infinite. But in hell the crowding would be part of the hellish experience. Like a NYC subway during rush hour in July. With no a/c.
