How is it different than hell? What are the punishments? What acts get one sent there?

      Josh, Joshua, Jesus, Iesus, Yeshua, Yehoshua. There’s something there. Good call.

    You’re not getting burned alive but its hot enough that you’re constantly sweaty.

    The demons don’t actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.

    You’re not there for eternity, it’s just really difficult to leave.

    You don’t eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

    Shit I think I just described San Francisco.

    One of the layers of heck, you are stuck in a car park full of people who are trying to reverse in, but can’t do it on the first try.

    Reasons you ended up there:

    You work at McDonalds and you didn’t get the drive-thru order right.

    You left when it was your turn to buy a round at the bar.

    You change lanes into a gap just big enough for your car, then brake.

    It’s the middle of summer and it’s hot, but you won’t let people turn on the A/C.

      I’m on board for the most part. With the McDonald’s one, I’d like to point out that there are at least three underpaid people involved in the process of receiving, making and delivering the order. The prices went up a lot more than their wages. The people that deserve to go to Heck (or worse) are a lot higher up.

    Everything is mildly infuriating there. Walking is just stubbing your toes.

    The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It’s always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.

    Why were you sent here? See below.

    Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.

    Greed: you shoplifted from a small ‘Mom & Pop’ store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn’t count).

    Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.

    Lust: you propositioned your spouse’s younger sibling (and got turned down).

    Envy: you keyed your neighbour’s new car.

    Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.

    Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.

      Thanks for the thoughtful response. That was a good read. Some of those things seem significantly worse than the others. Is there more to that?

        Not at all. It’s all down to one’s personal view of what is ‘bad’, plus they’re the first things that came to mind!

          Interesting. Does that mean it’s more determined by the conscience than the consequences of one’s actions?

              That’s okay. We’re a casual internet forum of strangers. We’re not responsible for that level of Philosophy. I was just curious.

    Only band kids go to heck, their eternal punishment? Only sequels, no original film or book or tv show, just spin offs and sequels forever

    Heck is a quaint little town in the US where everyone votes against their best interests and cheers for it.

      Are those the brave folks who uncovered the Ukranian Nazi plot to collude with space-laser-owning Jewish people to turn the hurricanes gay so they’ll target conservative towns giving the Immigrants the opportunity to take their guns and steal jobs from helpless billionaires, forcing them to implement DEI quotas and serve fentanyl-laced dog meat for lunch? I feel like I hear that on Newsmax as I leave it on in the background, ya know, for company, because scientists brainwashed my family and now I’m not allowed at Thanksgiving.

      Respectfully disagree about the HOA. I know they serve a function, but I feel like it would be better served by a government organization.

      Also, dont you think that depends on the parents?

    It’s just like here but there’s an awful, hollow, gnawing feeling like you’ve already seen this post before just last week.

      I’ve often thought there should be an element of Groundhog Day to Heck. So what did you do to end up here?

      I said, “Heck” as in the mildly bad place and not the sub-basement of the lowest circle of hell.

        No, those are the punishments. They won’t hurt you, but you have to tolerate them. Eternally.

          Okay, I get it now. Yeah, that’s pretty gross. You’d be a good heck demon. Are they called demons? Seems like it should be something more boring.
