Personal Hells.

I don't think there's just one fiery pit of screaming burning naked suffering wretches that we're all thrown in. I'd like to think that the devil is more creative than that. If not, I think I should apply for his job. :wink:

ANyhoo... I think that each of us experiences a personalized custom-tailored hell.

For instance, I suspect that if I were to end up in hell, I'd probably be strapped down, gagged and immobilized to a table. For the rest of eternity, I'd remain there with nothing to see or do except watch Joey Lawrence trying to complete a big book of devious crossword puzzles until the end of time.

*shudder*

What's your personal hell?

Ble, I don't think one anything for all eternity would work, you'd get desensitized/figure out how to cope/ turn into a vegitable after a while.

If the devil was really smart, he'd mix it up every now and then. Good example from one of my friends who just got back from boot camp (and will be leaving again soon for more training :'(): They have you do push ups till your arms are about ready to break. Then make you stand up and do jumping jacks until your legs are about ready to fall off. After that you get to do situps till .. well you get the idea. Except, during all these other excercises your arms have had a chance to rest, so they make you do more pushups (ect).

And haven't had a chance to give you a "welcome back" yet LG, you should know what it's like on the other side..

I'll probably be shut in a small room with a nice shiny toaster, a big tub of margarine, a blunt knife and a bread board...

Because eventually your mind would just turn off completely, I would assume that the devil resets it every so often so you're not used to whatevers happening.

He's going with the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (If you haven't seen it...see it) idea of Hell. It's something alright..

There's no such thing as "The Devil." Trust me on this.

There are 4 Princes of Hell in Pandemonium, and 8 Sub-Princes. Hell has Baronies and Dukeships and everything, so it's very feudal.

The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum has listed 316 Subserviant Demons.
So there's always plenty to do in Hell.

Being completely and utterly alone.

EDIT: In fact, that's probably my biggest fear as well.

A cocktail party with every single person in your life that you hate, and the drinks would be non-alcoholic!

An everlasting heavy migraine with no painkillers or alcohol around, but lots of really loud crappy disco music from the late 70s/early 80s and an epileptically amount of disco lights, strobos etc...

So you keep trying to drink more and get drunk, all in vain, but you drink too much, and theres no toilet. But that doesnt matter, as you'll never leak, you'll just be continually in the state of desperatly needing to go...

Anyone care to add to this?

My personal hell would be to have heaven just for a minute, then have it taken away. Then of course some hot oils, hot irons, and cold chains. Repeat as needed.

doing the same thing over and over and over and over for eternity.
even if it was something i liked, i'd get tired of it eventually and grow to despise it.

driving an oldschool VW van that was "running" on three cylinders...
up an endless hill....
with angry cop stuck tailgating you, but never seems to pull you over...
in a state of perpetual summer with windows that wont roll down and the heat is stuck on...
to top it all off, there would 6 rhesus monkeys on crack inside the van with you :shock:

(it's not really as bad as it might sound the "heat" in the old aircooled vw's didn't work very well anyway)

Having your Ex-mother in law attached to you at the hip....OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!

Mothers-in-Law? I have still have one!

I find that she is polite to me but rude to my wife? And then slags me off behind my back!

Why do Mother-in-Laws act like this?

Is it in the contract? Rule 15(b) You shall be rude and offensive and then complain when nobody talks to you anymore.

And why is it that I get on really well with my Father-in-Law (divorced from Mother-in-Law)? He is so relaxed and friendly!

:twisted:

Yes, there would be toilet but it would have a queue which despite shuffling forward would never reach the toilet, all the while having to chat to those people in the room that you hate!
