Hell is a metaphysical construct of tall tale fantasy meant to frighten the gullible into following the rules of those who make the religion rules. The very thought of going to hell frightens humans into all kinds of strange and problematic behavior. Just where this hell is…now that is the question, isn’t it?
When you die -- and your id… or your spirit… or your ghost… or whatever invisible substance you believe is left behind after your solid form ceases to live -- that lingering thing you believe is your soul transcends space, time and reality and moves on to that magical place called Heaven, or Limbo, or Hell… the question begs for the answer -- where are these places? And, how do you know where they are? Oh, faith and the words of God translated through the words of countless men gives you the truth.
Realistic?
I do not know where Heaven is. You don’t either! I don’t know where Limbo is. And you don’t either! But I know where the fuck hell is! It is just outside my front door. It is just down the street. It is over in the next town! It is in the next county! It is in the next state! It is in the next country!
It is in Florida!
And here is a goddamn prime example of hell! And I don’t have to use my fucking scared shitless imagination to scare myself into believing hell is right here on this goddamn planet Earth!
Welcome to hell!
