Hellish Thoughts
If there truly is a Hell, I don't think it will be anything like how Dante had it described. Oh sure, there will probably be several layers, and you would still have to ford the river Styx with Charon and listen to Babe until you get to your destination, but I think most of the torture would be psychological rather than physical. For example, instead of being battered by storm-force winds, you would be forced to play "telephone" with one-thousand people to complete works of Shakespeare. If anyone gets even one "thou" wrong, they have to start all over again. I could honestly see this torture continuing on until Judgment Day. Instead of lying in cold mud for eternity, they would be forced to spend eternity in a small room with an immortal, invincible, talkative, and incredibly emo demon. There would also be a lack of blunt instruments, so that the damned would not be able to beat himself to death to cease the incessant depression ("cease the incessant"… I can't believe I just wrote that). Instead of being transformed into thorn bushes, the suicide "victims" would have their own special treatment. They would be forced to play "name the color, not the word" for all of eternity. Frankly, I think that would be the worst. If, on the off chance, they should become proficient in the game, they would be thrown in with more of the emo demons. That should brighten their mood </sarcasm>
Note: I'm writing this at work, so I am afraid there will be no silly picture appended to this post at this time.

yea i dont like the eyes in second season. too big. : P
Yeah i always though hell would be having to eat a dinner with family for all eternity. You know when you have that crazy aunt that ask all sorts of stupid annoying questions, the grandma that is senile that tells you the same story over and over again, and of course some whore cousin jerking off her dip ship boyfriend under the table.
Oh it would be worse if your family is religous and they make you say grace. God that would be the worst hell ever.
I only really believed in the fiery-type hell as a kid. After more theological/philosophical study I think if there is a hell it is probably more of a "separation from God" place rather than closeness in a "heaven" type place. But I also believe it's impossible to know what the afterlife brings while you are alive, and that people focus too much on afterlife speculations/preparations.
Just couldn't stay away, eh?
The threat of any "Brain Age" pre-frontal lobe exercise for all eternity would be enough to pack all the churches and maybe even a few synagogues.
