HELL

[abaris]

Hi yall. Let me start off by saying I don't think it's healthy to focus too much on this subject, regardless of whether you believe in it or not. 

Yes, it isn't a healthy subject. Especially for a child growing up in the 60ies, being constantly pestered by priests with hellworthy sins. Or the simple threat of god taking what's most dear to us, if we sin.

That said, I grew up. I informed myself and one of the results of informing myself, combined with my interest in history and mythology, was meeting the goddess of Hel and her domain. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? In fact, both the english as well as the German word have their roots there.

Also, I started to call bullshit where bullshit's due. If Satan, or Lucifer (The lightbearer), presides over hell, intent on overthrowing Big Daddy, what's his incentive in playing god's torturer? Why would he play god's ball on god's playing field?
