I can draw you a map to at least one more but I dont want to tell you on here because then everyone would know where I live.

This cannot be true... Wendy Summers has been doing porn for what... a couple of years now?

I'll have to re-watch The Beyond for further enlightenment.

Jean Paul Sartre said that "hell is other people."

Sartre envisioned hell in a play he wrote (No Exit) as a room with no exit with a handful of people you can't stand. Forever.

Still remember the head nun at elementary school trying to describe Hell. She said it was the absence of everything then went on for 10 minutes describing it in detail. I was an asshole then too and constantly had my hand in the air waving it.

lol... one of the very best literary evocations of hell I've ever read was in "Portrait Of The Artist As a Young Man" by James Joyce... a hellfire sermon by an irish preacher. Puts all the worst imaginings of death rockers in the shade. I kid thee not.

There is also a pretty good vision of hell offered in The name Of The Rose by Umberto Eco which really conjours up how the medieval mind might really have believed in a satanic inferno.

Mind you the Americans offered internees a taste of hell by playing them endless very loud rock of the sort you enjoy Dino.

I got plenty of Redneck kin on the other side who take people into the woods so they can practice their sermons. Death Metal is tongue-in-cheek but the truly faithful and devout concern me.

[Prospero]

Yes indeed. I'd agree with that.

[Dino Velvet]

Yes indeed. I'd agree with that.

If I could only consolidate the Slavs with the Rednecks I'd have an impressive force. They'd turn on each other quicker than looters from the LA Riots. Gotta keep 'em separated like the song goes.

Strictly speaking, Dino, the 'underworld' in Greek civilisation -or Hades- was not Hell, but a multi-layered domain which contains the closest we have to Hell, which is Tartarus, a level below Hades. Ancient religions tended to think of the dead soul sinking into the earth/below with or without punishment for past deeds, or filtering out into the cosmos, from which you get the opposites of Heaven and Hell, and the concepts of being blessed and being damned: earth/life-bound judgements of those who have died.

The 'Underworld' with its many layers can be seen, in an arcane way, as an early form of history -in classical texts such as Virgil's Aeneid, and the Commedia of Dante, permission is granted for a living soul to enter and exit the 'underworld' in order to communicate with dead souls -in Virgil's case it is part of a process of education in the search for the good life; by the 14th century, the 'Inferno' of Dante was still a multi-layered domain but one demarcated by sins of different type inflicting terrible punishment on its sinners, a harsher view of the underworld and more painful than the Gehenna of the Jews which for some is but a temporary abode pending the cleansing of sin; in Islam, Jahanam has different levels and is a place of condemnation.

There do seem to be ways out of Hell/Tartarus in many religions; this would not have occurred to Jean-Paul Sartre whose trivial attitude to hell exposes his ignorance of, indeed, indifference to religion and religious thought. There are some people who would describe Hell as an evening spent in the theatre being bored to death by a play by Jean-Paul Sartre.

Let's see...scientists say they confirm the existence of the 'God' Particle, the previous Pope hightails it out of town, and now they find the Gate to Hell...thought I was onto something, but I guess not.

[Tits McButts]

Makes sense. Build a temple around the opening to an underground hotsprings that produces deadly levels of sulfur and methane gasses just to kill a bunch of animals for no logical reason, then blame it all on the supernatural. I wonder how many slaves died building the temple just so a few hack priests could play proverbial card tricks.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

You sure the gate to Hell isn't the front door of the White House??!!

It's a movie, dude...

[buttslinger]

I think they're installing a VOMITORIUM over at the Old Country Buffet on Rte. One. All you can eat and drink for seven bucks. Talk about Hell.

But a documentary to a 6 year old Catholic boy, mate.
