Thread Name: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
Subject: RE: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
Human beings were never intended to go into hell, but the ones who chose to reject God will one day follow satan right into this eternal torment. There will be no exit from hell, no way out, no second chance. That is why it is so important in this life to reveive the pardon that God extends to all men through the Cross of Jesus

To paraphrase Frank Zappa : if hell there is, then it is reserved exclusively for those who not only believe in it, but routinely take delight in condemning others to it on account of the somewhat warped tenets of their utterly idiotic faith. If heaven there is, OTOH, it's there for the rest of us who just want to quietly get on with our lives without consigning people to eternal torment for the expedient of simply being human. Burn again, Christians!

Otherwise, whilst the reality of hell is confined to the maggot-ridden brains of lunatic who choose to believe in it, the historic iconography of hell has long intrigued me. I adore the imps, devils, demons that run riot over the churches & cathedrals of the middle-ages. I especially love the medieval depictions of the Harrowing of Hell in which Christ liberates souls through the mouth of hell which is invariably depicted as simulacrum of female genitalia in a double symbolism of rebirth on the one hand and luscious drooling fragrant blossoming sinful dripping pussy lust on the other.   

And then, of course, there's this:
