Double Hockey Styx

The concept of "Hell" has been a subject of much debate over the years. Some people believe that they will suffer in the afterlife if they'd distanced themselves from God. Others believe that there is nothing BUT Hell. The constant belief is that you are tormented with eternal suffering when you're in Hell.

I can't help but think that certain religions used the concept of Hell to scare people into their faith. Christians hit it big during the plague when half of Europe was dying. All they had to do was spin a nasty tale about fire and brimstone to a scared pagan on the brink of death, and BAM - instant conversion.

I think that everyone's Hell is different. My personal Hell is having to listen to every one of my ex boyfriends tell me about how their days were (at the same time) while I try to iron a shirt without burning it.
