I don't even know what other monsters you could think up that could live in lava pools, but hey - - maybe there are lifeforms in the universe resistant to heat. And maybe some psycho could actually think up a lava-based, no water, very little oxygen ecosystem. Eh . . . when you let sick imagination run wild, you get hell.(October 10, 2015 at 12:03 pm)drfuzzy Wrote: Yeah Rocket . . . I hadn't thought about that either. But wow. That leaves us with two options, doesn't it. Either 1) it's true . . . gawd is such a psychopathic sadist, he wants to hear screams so badly that he resurrects and reconstructs our bodies in eternal, indestructible form just so that we can feel unending agony for all time (and in our cases, because HE set up original sin and because HE did not supply sufficient evidence to give us reason to believe in his existence), or 2) Hell is simply a lie made up by priests to scare people into doing what they were told by the priests. And since there is reason to believe that the priesthood came into being because non-alpha males found a way to rule over warlords and kings, well . . . I'm goin' with door number 2.
Yeah, I write quite a bit about what a psychopath it takes to make a torture chamber and then put people in it to suffer, when there are clearly other options... but that's not what's getting me scratching my head...
I'm still wondering what the rest of Hell's ecosystem looks like. I mean, seriously... worms?
