A room full of crazy justin bieber fans, and i am that unfortunate to be in the form of him(in this hell, obviously. I do not look like him one bit).
Or maybe the old fire and brimstone look.... But I like Dante Aligheri's depiction of hell in the Inferno chapter of the divine comedy to be the most... interesting, would be cool if it were only true(brace yourselves fools!)

I remember a thread just like this like a month or two ago. I'm going to say the exact same thing I said then.
According to the bible Hell is nothing but fire. There are no circles. Satan is not the king; he is stuck there just like everyone else.
If I believed in it, I would believe this.

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.
I agree with the OP. Seriously, Beksinski is genuinely talented. Who knows? Hell might be that horrifying and beautiful at the same time.
I am sorry for you if the fact that I am not native to english and I have Dyslexia seems funny to you. It sure isn't for me.BFEL said:

I don't think defining hell serves any good, no matter how you try. First of all, I think we all agree that hell is suppose to represent the very essence of suffering and pain. If so, then none of us can imagine what that means because we never experienced it. Hell itself is an abstract concept without definable characteristics.
Now, if I were to try I would say that hell is ever changing. Just like heaven, only that it would always shift in response to the very pinnacle of suffering the sufferer could experience at any moment. Darkness for all eternity is simply not enough because at some point your mind will cope. You might go insane, or base your view of the world on darkness. So instead of that you'd have cold until you nearly used to it, then blazing heat, then whatever follows in the most agonizing, unpredictable pattern possible. Even when you feel self pity, hell could transform into a reminder that you are not by any means special by showing others suffer worse. When you think you are part of greater whole it smacks you down by elevating your suffering above all others.
If you can imagine hell... or define it, then I doubt you really considered the possibilities of how this world, or the next can make you suffer. You know... if it even exists.

paradise. seriously, this is what i think, mostly cause i'm a satanist so that just goes with my beliefs.
also, i don't see how you can be tortured for eternity if that's how it's supposed to be. just start a revolt against the armies of hell, you either win, get your own area and make it paradise, or you get destroyed, and oblivion is better than torture. what else could they do? send you to hell? or hell 2.0?? OH SHIT!!!! seriously, you're being tortured for a while, you'll get used to the pain, so pain won't effect you, nothing can harm you cause you're an immortal soul, so just do whatever at that point. you've got an eternity to do this, so no need in rushing.

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.
