    Jake came down the ladder feeling swell
    Unfortunately he forgot to stop and went to hell.

That's one mighty long ladder.  It must have been metal to withstand that
heat.

Actually, I'd think it'd be very cold.
I mean, I'm sore that hell has frozen
over many times, considering how much
people are wrong when they vow that 
hell would freeze over if they
were wrong.

Hel has always been froze over in the viking religion.

(er, that is sure, not sore)

Duh.

That's *Niffelheim*, vidar.  They never specify how cold Hel is.

#7 of 19 by vidar on Wed Apr 6 02:05:48 1994:

Point of clarification: Niflheim and Hel are one.  They used to be
seperate entities at one time, but now it's like this: Hel is where
the goddess of death, (also) Hel, resides.  Niflheim is where people
who die of old age or disease go.

Doesn't anyone read Dante anymore? Of course Hell is frozen.. It's a cake
of Ice where Satan eternally tortures the biggest traitors of all time (Judas
Brutus, etc..) in his three mouths..

#9 of 19 by vishnu on Thu Apr 7 11:07:17 1994:

Ah yes, I did read Dante, and that's one of my reasons.

hell is the worst of wherever you came from, only moreso.

#11 of 19 by sirnose on Thu Apr 7 20:49:14 1994:

Actually there are some interesting Hell theories floating around...
For example: Hell is really just Heaven... I mean, what could be worse
to a really bad, mean, spiteful person than to be surrounded by infinite
goodness? Hmmm. Points to Ponder.
Peace.

Supossing that no matter which afterlife a person went to, they would
still be happy.  Would there still be a Hell?

#13 of 19 by orinoco on Sat Apr 9 21:00:10 1994:

Maybe hell is just a place where "evil" people can live with other 
such people, in a way that seems normal for them.

#14 of 19 by vidar on Sat Apr 9 21:08:55 1994:

But then, would not the concept of hell be void?

#15 of 19 by vishnu on Sun Apr 10 04:41:01 1994:

So hell wouldn't be punishment?  I mean, in
that philosophy, hell would be heaven but 
for a groupo of differently aligned people.

#16 of 19 by vidar on Sun Apr 10 14:01:08 1994:

No, Hell would not exist if you could be just as happy in any afterlife.

#17 of 19 by none on Sun Apr 10 14:36:32 1994:

If you belive that good is desirable and evil isn't, then I guess
you would think hell should be punishment.  Maybe hell would only
be so bad from your point of view.
PS--Could Jake take Ziggy with him?

I beg to differ about the definition of hell.  Hell is what we create here in
the life of the living when we force ourselves to live in endlessly
hypocritical and self-contradictory social structure.

Hell, whatever.  I shall create chaos.
