Personalized Hell

[ygetoff]

Having to listen to idiots gab ignorance for eternity.

Or having to listen to Fox news for eternity

That would get hilarious after a while. Just to see how they would interpret a nuclear apocalypse.

OT: Probably for me, it would be something sinister and psychologically terrifying.
Like a large, white rectangular room that stretches on into darkness... On my (illuminated) end, I would hear... things... in the darkness. The fear of going into the unknown part would be balanced by not having anything (food, water, etc) on the light end.

Either that, or being locked in a room with a radio that only plays Elton John music.

Come to think of it, I can't decide which is worse.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Being sealed in a glass case with no room for movement. Plus you're constantly listening to the sound of static, and you can't breathe but still stay alive.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

My hell: being stuck in a tiny white room, so small that I couldn't move. No noise. No colour. Nothing.

Heaven: Being dead. No seriously, being alive forever would likely cause dimentia, or extreme depression.

 

[dalek sec]

Being forced to watch Bleach and Death Note forever.

 

[RebelRising]

A humid beach with "atheist" and "religious" fanatics twatting each other, respectively, with copies of "The God Delusion" and the Bible for all eternity.

And no shade.

my personal hell would be doing acid while on "its a small world" at disneyland

That's messed up on ways I can't even comprehend. I went on that ride so I know what you're talking about.

 

[historybuff]

Lock me up in a plain white room, with no doors or windows, tied to a desk so tightly that I couldn't even move a muscle. And then I'd just sit there for all of eternity, bored and immobile forever. I'd go insane.

Having to listen to idiots gab ignorance for eternity.

Ah. Those are good ones. Er, bad ones? Anyway, those would suck.

 

[Sigel]

To be drowned and revived constantly, and when I am revived, I am covered in spiders. I have nightmares about it.

quite similar to your. I would keep the white room but lose the desk and my body would be rendered useless but my mind intact

 

[Florion]

In my personal hell, I'd be the ruler of a vast empire of people or otherwise adorable, sentient creatures who loved, really loved, and depended on me to guide them and take care of their well-being. They would love me even if I mistreated them, but love me in the sense that they would miss any kindness I had if I were forced to become a heartless dictator, so that I would always feel remorse for the change. I would be unable to ask for help because of all I had to do for them, and they would be numerous enough that I wouldn't be able to develop close relations with any one of them.

DELETED

 

[j0z]

*clap**clap* *clap* Thank you, now I will know exactly what to do to you all when you come to stay with me forever! MUHAHAHA!

OT: Being constantly eaten alive, forever.
Or a plain white room, no sound, no anything. Just me. Forever.

 

[blaze96]

Being stuck in a constant and ever changing flame war. Communism vs. Capitalism, Atheist v Theist, and all other kinds of arguments that never go anywhere or do any good forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. You can't tune it out and have to listen to every single argument as it is come up with. You hear the same arguments for all eternity, and it just stays as one big stalemate, with each side swinging for the fences in stupidity and spewing crap onto the other.

 

[traceur_]

Tied to the ground, completely immobile in a room full of people gossiping about their stupid lives *cough*twitter*cough*, reading celebrity gossip magazines aloud and being forced to watch soap operas and listen to people talk about soap operas for eternity.

 

[Auron555]

Me? I'd be treated to a great show that ran for 30 seasons. Only problem is, the quality sharply declines after the third episode. Each week it might be amazing... but it never is. The never ending dissappointment would crush me.

According to some interpretations of the Bible, Hell isn't actually a real place. The bible typically refers to Hell as an 'everlasting fire,' which could be a metaphor for destruction and oblivion. The logic being, since God is the source of all life in existence, turning away from God leads only to annihilation. Modern conceptions of Hell as a physical place with lava and demons and poetic justice torture scenarios for sinners originate mostly from Dante's Divine Comedy rather from any established religions canon.

But I digress. Personally, I seem to agree more with zidine100's idea that after a certain period of time people would probably start to get desensitized to typical torture scenarios. My belief is that, over time, souls that are imprisoned in Hell start to take on characteristics of Hell itself, gradually turning into demons and taking up arms against God and the righteous alongside his army of demonic hordes. Most of them probably won't amount to anything more than cannon fodder during the final battle of apocalypse though; eviscerated guts clogging up the proverbial tank tracks.

To be honest, I've always wondered how one reconciles the concept of Hell as a place of eternal suffering and torment with the concept of a loving and all-powerful God. It seems that God would probably just *****-slap some empathy into the evil bastards (which, by most interpretations of the Bible includes just about everyone) by forcing them to go through all the suffering they caused in their past lives, and then have them apologize, make up for it somehow, call things even, and let them into Heaven; one might call this the Purgatory Method. Of course, this only makes sense if God is actually loving and forgiving and has any interest in redeeming humanity. If God is a vengeful Nazi asshole then it makes perfect sense that he would trap anybody who doesn't follow his rules and isn't a (insert Christian/Jewish/Islamic denomination here) in a place of eternal torment.

Because, you know, subjecting people to horrible physical and/or psychological agony for millions of years is a great way to make them into kind, loving, generous souls who like to kiss adorable kittens and buy presents for small children and NOT make them into insane, vengeful, bloodthirsty monsters without a shred of humanity left in them. Right?
