Oh, what the hell. (Pictorial essay)

[Buzz Clik]

Time magazine's visual history of Hell. A little gratuitous at times, but not bad:

1. "A controversial new book argues that perhaps there is no hell."

Gosh, you think?

[Buzz Clik]

3. I think that many of the artists who depict their concept of hell don't necessarily believe in it.

The images of what eternity might hold for those who do believe in hell are discomforting.

7. It is interesting in that it illuminates the other side of the deity

they worship. This Hell is that deity's other side. We have the Loving Jesus, and we have the Eternal Tormentor. Gosh what a charming religion.

6. seriously

R.D. Laing was right about the fact that we live in a society whose norms are clearly delusional and psychotic.

[Angry Dragon]

8. Some say this planet is another god's hell

[Stuckinthebush]

9. That's what I thought

It is an interesting article, however. I read it and said to myself, "Gee, this is what many mainline Christians already believe. Not very cutting edge." But, I need to remember that the authoritative view of evangelism rejects universalism out of hand. In his field, this viewpoint is dangerous.

Quite an interesting read.

Jean Paul Sartre, "No Exit".

11. They could have cut out one of the cartoons and added Little Nicky.

One of Sandler's best movies.
