hell is a fictional place made up to keep people in line. life is hell.

to quote John Milton: The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.

Hell is stupid people, not other people. The world would be a much better place if stupidity hurt. Ok, rant over. Hell is probably alcohol and drug free, they serve only organic and healthy food. They play re-runs of Alf, Who’s the Boss and Mr. Belevedere. Hell is most likely 95 degrees with 95% humidity. Hell is like being stuck in a non-stop traffic jam driving a 76 Pacer with no air conditioning and an AM radio that plays Muzak 24-7.

Hell is a place that was made up almost 7000 years ago, in order to keep order. With no threat of something as bad as hell, there would have been chaos. There were no jails and no laws back then, so the leaders had to come up with something to strike fear into the people. The fear that if they wronged their fellow man, that there would be severe consequences. With the advent of laws and modern day super-max prisons, I think that the threat of this fictional place is no longer needed.

Hell is a mushroom cloud 30 seconds after you get your 15 minutes of fame. Hell is finally catching that leprechaun for his pot of gold and discovering that he has a gambling problem. Hell is finally dating that really hot model you've been chasing for two years and discovering she used to be a man. Hell is your boss taking the last cup of coffee and not making a fresh pot. Hell is someone going on ad nauseum about what hell is...oops

i agree with that quote. there are definately people capable of making life hell. but in addition, i think ignorance and a close minded outlook on life brings hell into your own life. futhermore, human toture and gradual death seems far worse than "hell" as we know it.

hell is where all my friends will be

a really small crowded plane, with crying babies and a large religious group post convention

Hell in the majority of all faiths is associated to suffering. This is so in the Christian beliefs (see link). Since I am Christian, I will focus on this faith.
Contrary to what is taught in the majority of all Christian churches though, hell is, in Hebrew-Sheol and Greek-Hades. Both literally translate to resting ground or the common grave. Nowhere does the bible say that if you are bad you are eternally tortured in hell when you die. This idea was adopted into the Christian religion after the death of Christ.

Wicker Furniture (painted white = double trouble)
Any vegetable that tastes like chalk, IE. Lima beans, chick peas, brussels sprouts, etc
Lace doilies
Oral surgery
Being asphyxiated in a toilet

hell is a place you go if you lived your life like an asshole.

if there is a hell, i would think it would resemble a twilight zone episode. the worst thing you've ver done would be done to you for eternity, or whatever your greatest fear is would happen to you for eternity. hell has to be sadistic, or its just false advertising.

Hell is drinking too much at a bar and standing in line for the bathroom whilst some takes a crap. Who does that? No one should ever leave the kids in a bar crapper! And then you have to go and withstand the stank...
