This one stopped me in my tracks. It was on a cooking show and the host was asking the contestants what their version of Hell was.


I don't have a version of Hell. I don't have the concept of Hell. It's not part of my religion. I couldn't think of how I would answer that question.


The contestants were coming up with joke answers, but I was honestly completely blank.


How would you answer the question?

There's more than one version, depending on one's situation. But here's one wherein I see some people trapped: living with regret.

I really couldn't, either. It's not something I believe in any longer. Of course, there are depictions in both christianity and Buddhism, but I don't buy into either.

Don't believe in any sort of hell other than as an expression of what we may experience while living.

Weird question for a cooking show.

It is just a part of the afterlife. I see it kind of like Swedenborg did. Like chooses like.

Not totally weird, it was one of those Halloween specials making scary cakes. People were taking it like a joke, not being philosophical. Still, I came up totally bank about how I would answer that question if anyone asked me.


It strikes me as something that isn't suitable to joke around about, and I generally have a wacko sense of humor.

Well once upon a time it could have been funny, I.e., having to listen to stairway to heaven over and over again for all eternity or watch Jim Carrey in anything but these days just getting through each day is a challenge, so not a lot of room left over for humor.

There is no hell in paganism. If you can travel the etherial, you might find places like it, but there isn't one.


I have had a taste of your hell, Hanna. I was security at a senior/handicapped living place and one day somebody was playing stairway to heaven on repeat, really loud, so loud it bounced off all three high rises and you couldn't pin down the location... on repeat. It was playing before my shift and played through my shift. I wanted to die every time I went outside or both vestibule doors were open.

Sorry, but I laughed.

It could have been worse. It could have been Achy Breaky Heart.
