Who Has the Best Hell?

Vulpinism has the best Hell.

Our NCDE (non-copyrighted Devil equivalent) is a massive piebald draught horse who unceremoniously removes people's hair and replaces it with wheat grass. Sounds terrifying? IT IS!

The Latter Day Saints have by far the best Hell......only a very few of the truly wicked end up there such as Jar Jar Binks and Michael Jackson.

Yeah, I rather like the LDS notion of hell. Bless them! May there never be holes in their trampolines!

:biglaugh:

Jar Jar Binks? He is annoying, do you really think he deserves outer darkness? :p

I'm particulary fond of Dante's version of Hell. No one size fits all fire roasting for him, nope. Each deadly sin gets it's own punishment, especially taylored to fit the crime. :rolleyes:

Not sure if it is the "best" but Buddhist hell (craving and aversion) is the most immediate, and the only one that is tangible IMO. Some of the cravings are the nicest hells imaginable if you can avoid addiction (sex, beer etc).

The Buddhist Hell is the most acurately described, I feel: it is a place where the tendenceies of Strength, Jealousy, Agression, Combat and Rationality are paramount but having established that ALL states of being except Nirvana are transitory and impermanent, the Hell that is suffered is likewise not forever. Karma binds one there and having expunged that negative energy one is freed from Hell.

Given the encyclical nature of all things, it makes the most sense.

What is the critera for the "best"? Which one I would prefer to go to, or which one has the coolest punishments, or which one is the most "just"?

I was leaving the meaning of "best" up to the reader to decide in the hope that I would get a variety of "bests".

Mormonism has the worst Hell because everybody there will be so lonely. Everybody else will be in Heaven.

Dante's makes for the best reading. ;)

I rather like some of the Zoroastrian descriptions, though, even if some of them are told from a complely MALE point of view.

One is, you cross a bridge into the next life, and there's a female figure on the other side to welcome you. As you get closer, you get to find out what your fate for Eternity is. If you've been a good little boy, you get a greeter who's the Heavenly equivalent of Angelina Jolie. If not, as you get closer you find out you get a toothless hag with a bad case of Cooper's droop. :eek:

I'm not sure what the women get. Maybe it doesn't matter, since we don't have souls anyway. :sarcastic

Whoohooo! *dances happily* I have no soul!

I'm thinking that, if I believed in a hell, it would be a place where you could go on a daypass from heaven and play paintball. (I, as befitting the blessing that MaddLlama recently gave me, will be equipped with lasers.)

The Mormon people, since they don't believe any of us will go to Hell. With this type of belief system you can pretty much live your life however you would like, even murder and rape, and you will go to heaven, just not have as many blessings there.

I however do not agree.

God Bless

Another completley false twist of our doctrine.

No, we cannot murder, rape, etc., that is against the commandments. We believe in the atonement, repentence and forgiveness, just as every other Christian denomination does. We believe that there are punishements for those crimes, and that each individual person will be dealt with, according to God's justice, we, at this time cannot know how He will treat everyone.
