What are the common beliefs about Hell?
Most, if they believe in Hell at all, believe that it is a place of burning torment that lasts forever.
Others believe that we are living in Hell right here on the earth.
Some believe that Hell is a place where a huge party of sinful excess is thrown for all sinners in the afterlife.
And there are people who believe that it is a place where red-suited demons with horns, pointy tails and pitchforks reign over people that didn't make the cut to Heaven.
Is Hell any of these things?
We'll find out.

New Year's musings about Hell
Have you ever wondered what happens to you when you die?
Yes, we know that the body decays and turns to dust (chemically breaks down into simpler components). But what about YOU? Your thoughts, your personality, your consciousness?
Do you live on in some disembodied state, or do you cease to exist?
And if you are in a disembodied state, what does that entail? Is there a Heaven? Is there a Hell?
It's one of life's greatest mysteries that science, unfortunately, can't explain.
What about Hell? "What the Hell" is Hell all about, anyway?
Is Hell a place of suffering? Is it a place of burning torment? How long does it last? Forever, or some finite length of time?
Here we will discuss these things, and hopefully, be enlightened!
Until next time,
