Hell

Hell: A world in which everybody agrees with me.

Hell happens when we don't work together for peace, when we don't care about others, when we don't understand what suffering there is in this world.

Hell is not an easy topic to discuss since I have never been there-- at least not in the physical sense.

Some religions believe the truest nature of hell is the absence of the Beloved. Satan's crime was not his desire for man's reverence; it was his jealousy for God's attention. This is perhaps the worst case of sibling rivalry ever recorded.

hell, in theology, any place or state of punishment and privation for human souls after death. more strictly, the term is applied to the place or state of eternal punishment of the damned, whether angels or human beings. the doctrine of the existence of hell is derived from the principle of the necessity for vindication of divine justice, combined with the human experience that evildoers do not always appear to be punished adequately in their lifetime. belief in a hell was widespread in antiquity and is found in most religions of the world today.

It should be said that before the existance of a devil, or anti-God, the underworld of death was not seen as a negative place. Every God had a part to play in nature, and was vital to humanity's existance. Dualism, Good vs. Evil, has led to Us vs. Them. Who wants to be Them?

A wealthy farmer went to church one Sunday. After services he said to the priest, »Father, that was a damned good sermon you gave, damned good!«
»I'm happy you liked it,« said the priest. »But I wish you wouldn't use those terms in expressing yourself.«
»I can't help it,« said the rich farmer. »I still think it was a damned good sermon. In fact, I liked it so much I put a hundred dollar bill in the collection basket.«
»The hell you did?!« replied the priest.

hell exists only in your mind, its what you want it to be. find hell and you find yourself, your own fears and lust
