I’ve heard from older cynical men of my generation that there is no need to fear hell after death because we’ve already established a hell here on earth.
I have to say, I’ve put a bunch of thought into this and have concluded that I must concur.
The religious descriptions of hell and the reality of this earth are very eerily similar…
It really isn’t any wonder why when infants are born into this world they are crying and screaming, just take a look at this fucking place.
Hell may be more “down to earth” than you realize. Bible describes it as a “bottomless pit”…
The core of the Earth is a bottomless pit, because it has no sides. From all angles, it is at the bottom. Core of Earth is a hot place.
Sun looks like a lake of fire. Energy is affected by Earth’s pull. Our brains are a nueral net that traps consciousness. Without a nueral net…energy is effected by gravity, and falls through matter. The core of the Earth. When the sun grows bigger, it will consume the Earth. Energies in hell, will be transported into the lake of fire, as foretold in the Biblical prophecies. When the sun supernovas it will collapse and form a black hole, the Abyss.
You do the math and physics and you see the Bible, or at least Hell, is probably real.
What you describe is the First Level of Hell, Hades, characterized by weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is Earth life, the symptom of a world devoid of Love.
Years ago I read a book as sort of guide to this hell on earth where it had any interesting play on Dante’s Inferno.
Wish I could remember the name of that book after all these years.
Either way I just view the world as the village of the damned anymore.
Hell is here and now. There is no other.
Your society is intentionally designed and maintained to be a reflection of “the creation”, wherein Heaven is separated from Earth and Hell is endless dissatisfaction and suffering … all quite by design so as to simulate what certain very nasty/sick people perceive as necessary and God revealed.
Don’t be such a wuss, ierrellus.
What if he’s right?
I’ve seen hell in this life. One in some afterlife would be redundant.
That’s more like it. The only way you’re going to beat God is to become immune to his punishment. For this you have to seek out suffering, Ierrellus… you have to find any way you can to harden yourself. Now I want you to slap yourself in the face. Go ahead, slap yourself. Now do it again, harder, then shave that moustache off with a dull butter knife. Now I want you to throw that 1984 IBM pc Jr. computer monitor in your avatar picture through the window of your apartment, rip that shirt off like a crazed lunatic, and do fifty push-ups straight. Diamond push-ups. Don’t get up until you’re done.
This is only the beginning. When I’m done with you, hell will be a walk in the park. God and the Satan will be so confused they won’t know what to do with you.
To be the man you have to beat the man, Ierrellus.

So you don’t like what I look like. It’s not your place to tell me how to look or be.
^^^ I did not say that, Ierrellus. Please remove it from the quote immediately or a thousand curses shall be visited upon you.
Finally we can agree on something.
Zoot,
Sorry about that. I don’t know how to correct my error; but, since your post was about me, it’s not entirely out of place. Edit my remark out if you wish.
isn’t heaven also here on earth
It can be for some, not for everyone.

Depends on the size of your bank account, stock holdings, net worth, and yearly income.
