What do you think Hell looks like?

[klaynexas3]

It's basically like heaven but totally metal and less sanctimonious and boring.
Look, all I am saying is all our knowledge of Hell and Satan come from the big man. We don't get a second opinion.

Could be like fucking cake as far as the eye can see, how the hell do we know.

Since it won't let me embed on this forum, and many of you will avoidthe link for fear of MySpace cooties, lyrics below:

Welcome to my realm we?ll make you feel right at home
and reacquaint you with your deepest suffering.
We?ll pull your soul apart and fill the wounds with pain
'til you are nothing but hatred and misery.
And while the sycophants rejoice in paradise
you?ll be here and baptized in hellfire.
The only difference between the heavens and earth
is here you have no illusions.
The worst pain that a person can feel in their heart
is nothing where once there was love.
And he in his infinite mercy sees fit
to torture his children forever.
It?s far better to burn in hell than to serve
a tyrant demanding and cruel.
For what is courage but standing alone against god
almighty as he vents his wrath?

What is our crime? We will not obey!
What is our crime? We refuse to be slaves!
What is our crime? We do not believe!
What is our crime? We will never ever obey!

So fuck your commandments. We will not obey!
Fuck your cowardly son. We refuse to be slaves!
Fuck all your promises. We do not believe!
To hell with your love. Into the pit with God!

As He has done unto us so shall we do unto Him.
God shall suffer in the bowels of hell.

It's part of the 3 disc "album" (concept album about ideological conflict) and this is the beginning of the final act, followed by Storm the Walls, Aflame, The Sum of All Fears, The Rape of Heaven, and Cold and Dark Infinity.

the band is the burning blade, right? i really want to check this out, cause it seems really interesting. i'm in school so i can't go on the link at the moment but i want to check it out later but feel that this thread will decline and i won't be able to find it again

I still think Scrubs had the best idea.

Unreachable cupcakes and being forced to watch "The View" nonstop.

Given that all of the sins are basically stealing, killing, homosexuality, greed, gluttony and the like, I imagine hell to be a lot like Vegas.

In short, awesome.

Also, all the people being condemned to hell constantly (Marilyn Manson, George Carlin, Freddie Mercury, etc) sound a whole lot better than the people claiming to be speaking for God (Jerry Falwell, Rush Limbaugh, etc). If you ask me, hell sounds like it'd be full of some pretty kick ass people. Plus, y'know, we could all shove a pineapple up Hitler's ass.

I always sort of considered that after a hundred years or so of the same "worst torture imaginable" you'd just get bored. I mean, there are people who get used to constant pain after a year or so, imagine that stretching out for an eternity. I imagine that once you get bored, the devil walks up and just says "alright, your options are chilling with the cool dudes, turning into a demon and beating up other people down here, or going up to Earth to dick around with people". In which case it just sounds like an awful lot of fun :3

After all, the devil's supposed to be this giant, lying monster, right? Wouldn't the greatest lie of all be that he's doing terrible things down there? I mean, I'd rather do that then have to hang around nude with my family for all of eternity, never again to enjoy anything besides family love >_>

Open Minecraft. Make a 4x3 frame out of obsidian. Set it on fire. Walk into it. Wait a few seconds. That's what hell is like. You're welcome.

 

[William MacKay]

Well, I gotta go with the fire and brimstone look, with the screaming and crying and the gnashing of teeth. Maybe a stalagmite here and there.

i normally assume that, but i saw this and thought 'unicorn.'

you, good sir, have just put Hell into a perspective that makes it awesome.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Pretty much like Stoke on Trent.

Its a cinema that shows endless new episodes of MLP, that HASBRO made themselves.

Oh that isnt t-- WHAT, by HASBRO themself?!

 

[Flamezdudes]

Gillingham

Wait a second... do you mean Gillingham in Kent?

 

[Darks63]

A endless black void with no sound where you can see no one and hear no one only your own voice echoing, afterall humans are social animals by nature and the greatest torture would be to deprive us of that.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Similar to hell seen in What Dreams May Come. Loved that movie.

A justin bieber concert with rebecca black

I feel kind of glad I have no idea who Rebecca Black is. Should I feel so?

YES, DON'T FIND OUT. LOVE YOUR IGONORANCE!

He asked what you thought HELL looked like, not heaven

 

[theartknife]

it looks like this

Gehenna (one of the words that gets translated into "hell" in the English language bible) actually just means "Valley of Hinnom" it's just outside Jerusalem.... kind of pretty nowadays.

Band is called FireAxe. It's a one-man deal from CA that I first heard about because I searched a proper name from a work of Lovecraft's and the only results were the work it was from (a poem titled Nathicana) and his song based off of the same (he has an entire album of H.P. Lovecraft poetry put to music, actually the rerelease also includes two non-HPL pieces that are merely HPL inspired).

The album that is from is Food For the Gods. Disc 3, track 1. The album before it was titled A Dream of Death and is about, well, dreams and social control. Before that was Lovecraftian Nightmares, the previously mentioned album of HPL poetry put to music. His most recent is called Eternal Devotion to the Dark Goddess, but I haven't heard anything from it at all yet.

Food For the Gods has some of his better tracks, since the production values have improved with every album. Personally fond of the River of Madness and Black Knight parts of it. It's also better with headphones -- especially since he likes to record guitar solos twice, set one to left only and the other to right only, then put them slightly off sync.

It's just rare to have a reason to pull one of his tracks out as reference to anything, unless we're talking Lovecraft or one man bands. =p

Meh all that we know about Hell was made up by artists and evangelist preachers. Even if you consider the Bible to be authored by God through prophets and stuff it never explains what Hell is.

I think the old testament merely calls Hell a state of being without God (which I think is why Jews don't believe in Hell like Christians) and the new testament may have correlated it with burning. In no part of the Bible does it say that Hell is definitely a place and the counterpart of Heaven.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I would think it's a land or rooms full of personal hells for everyone. Also a devil minion will be assign to each of us as the watch dog and also act as a super troll taking part in our personal hell (if you asking what my personal hell is, it would be working in a take away shop in the most aweful and fearful way).

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I'd imagine it would be exactly how the Inferno described it, Dante did a good job if you ask me.

I think I like how Family Guy did it most.

And I would have to agree with you.

 

[rayen020]

a universe without causality, time is no longer linear and infinity stretches before and behind, You are alone.

 

[YouEatLard]

Not sure. Steve Jobs would probably be in charge.

The fastest computer would be powered by a X80 and be running Vista. There is an alternative, but it's an Apple IIe. Beyond this the desktop computer is dead. The fastest internet connection is AOL through a 14.4 modem. UPS, FEDEX and Newegg don't exist. It's a place where I actually pay for cable TV (knowing that I am paying to watch commercials).


Kinda running out of ideas. Most other things normally associated with hell seem funny to me. Yeah, it'd suck at first, but humans are adaptable. Eventually we'd get used to it.... and laugh at the new guy/girl (screwing with him every chance we get).
