If you could create a circle of h**l what would it be like?

Question

I'm brainstorming for a creative writing assignment. If you were to make a circle of h**l who would be in it and how would they be punished? Odd topic isn't it?

Answer 1

all agents of human suffering - rapists, killers, extortionists of all shades etc

punishment - banish all to Antarctica for life.

Answer 2

I'll start off by saying that I don't believe in a literal or symbolic h**l - h**l as we know it is largely a christian modification of previous underworld myths and is used as a tool of emotional manipulation to scare people into being and staying christian.

How about a h**l for people who don't believe in evolution? It would be as easy as this - they are forced to live out the entire existence of our Earth. They can't die, but they also can't change - they can't grow, they can't get any smarter, they can't reproduce (for evolution depends on fitness in reproduction, and if you don't believe in evolution...). They are forced to wander the earth (like Cain, if you want to get biblical) for all time, and watch as everything around them changes, over millions and millions of years.

How about authority figures in the Mormon church? Not your average Mormon - they're usually nice, gentle, sweet, misguided people. No, I mean the authority figures who perpetuate the lie. They die, they think they're going to the highest level of heaven, and it seems like they do - everything is brilliant, heavenly, perfect, just like the celestial kingdom is supposed to be. They call out their wife's secret name through the veil, but when they expect their main wife and the non-Mormon women who are destined to become their concubines/harem to come through the veil... a host of demon women! Who drag them to h**l and torment them by keeping them awake at night by fighting with each other, denying them carnal pleasures, feeding them crappy food, and mocking their pitiful expectations!

How about for televangelists and other hypocritical agents of propaganda? Through the point of view of their victims... forced to work menial, degrading jobs and periodically told that they have to choose between food and a chance at getting out of h**l - all they have to do is give Satan all their money. The catch is that the food never sates their hunger and they never win the prize of getting out of h**l... although they see images of others who do (all lies of course). Admittedly, this is just emotional abuse, liars and frauds like this deserve far worse, but it's a start.

How about the sub-prime lenders who made all those high-risk loans that defaulted and sent our country into a financial crisis? Again... through the eyes of their victims. Something they want is offered to them, something they've wanted more than anything, and the offer is too good to be true! They get it for one second... and then it's taken away from them by the financial demons!

That said, how about a circle of h**l for rapists - forced to spend eternity reliving their crimes through the senses of their victims? Thing is, i'm not sure if being victimized like that would be a bad enough punishment for rapists. I hate rapists even more than televangelists, the mormon church,  and sub-prime mortgage lenders... and if you haven't picked up on it, that's an awful lot.

Honestly, I don't think rapists deserve to even exist. h**l for them? They don't even deserve it. Just bloody snuff 'em.

Ooooh, and I haven't even gotten into stupid people, George W Bush, people who would deny medical abortions, g*y-bashers, fundamentalists....

Oh, okay, one last one.

Fundies' circle of h**l would be black and white, with no shades of gray. No one ever thinks, and the only forms of communication are yelling, obscenities, and different flavors of groveling. Everything is rough, tough and unyielding, and never bends... so you can imagine that the toilet paper makes going to the bathroom a rather interesting adventure. =)

Oh, I could so go on....
