[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2131575, member: 11697"] 1) Hell is not a physical place, but a state of being, and one that we consciously apply to ourselves. We make it, and one of the more amusing and applicable descriptions of if comes from a Steven King book, "“She choked to death calling your name. Isn’t that sweet? But that’s alright Robby, she’s waiting for you in hell. And she’s turned cannibal. When you get there, she’s going to eat you alive, over and over and over again. Because that’s what hell is all about Robby: repetition. I think in our hearts, most of us know that.” Andre Linoge, “Storm of the Century” by Steven King. That's just a bit of my own personal opinion regarding it all. It takes the form of whatever you make of it. Or if you wanted a bit more of a redemptive version of it, there's always the view espoused in 'Jacobs Ladder' that demons are really angels in disguise. That if you're too attached to the world you're leaving behind, tethered by regrets and all, that angels will seem to be devils there to rip your life away. But if you're truly at peace, and ready to move on, they're just angels helping you to move along and fully let go of it all. If you want a fully DnD version of my opinion of the lower planes, etc, here's a little essay I wrote from the perspective of a fiend: [URL=http://www.planewalker.com/fiction/entry.php?intEntryID=9681]http://www.planewalker.com/fiction/entry.php?intEntryID=9681[/URL] [/QUOTE]
