Hell is, according to many religious beliefs, a place or a state of painful suffering. The English word 'hell' comes from the Teutonic 'Hel', which originally meant "to cover" and later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld, Helgardh. Compare Anglo-Saxon helan and Latin celare = "to hide".

Now that you understand what hell is, I think it is time you all did some serious thinking. Is hell real? Or is it just a made up concept by churches to scare people into doing the things they want? Can just people go to there? Why would they go there? Is hell really a dungeon like area filled with flames, red demons and pitchforks? Or is it something more complex?

Until next time. . .
