Since the beginning of time people have always feared a place called Hell.. A place full of sorrow and pain, where the sinners go.
In the course of history a being was mentioned relatively a lot of times, he had a lot of names..
Satan, Lucifer, Antichrist, The Beast and many more.. from these names you can imagine that the being is pretty the source of all evil, the king of darkness, and what not.
Demons.. they appear in our nightmares, in our hallucinations, and we get scared just from hearing their names.. but what are they?
In religion, occultism and folklore, a demon is a supernatural being described as something that is not human and in ordinary usage malevolent.
Who is Satan?
Satan, the accuser, is the title of various entities, both human and divine, who challenge the faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible.
In Christianity and Islam the title became a personal name, and "Satan" changed from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to the chief of the rebellious fallen angels ("the devil" in Christianity, "Shaitan" in Arabic, the term used by Arab Christians and Muslims).
What is "Hell"? In many religious traditions, Hell is a place of suffering and punishment in the afterlife.
Religions with a linear divine history often depict Hell as endless. Religions with a cyclic history often depict Hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these traditions locate Hell under the Earth's external surface and often include entrances to Hell from the land of the living. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Purgatory, Paradise and Limbo.
Other traditions, which do not conceive of the afterlife as a place of punishment or reward, merely describe Hell as an abode of the dead – a neutral place located under the surface of Earth (for example, see sheol and Hades). Modern understandings of Hell often depict it abstractly, as a state of loss rather than as fiery torture literally underground, but this view of Hell can, in fact, be traced back into the ancient and medieval periods as well.[citation needed] Hell is often portrayed as populated with demons who torment the damned. Many are ruled by a death god such as Nergal, Hades, Enma or the Christian/Islamic Devil (Satan or Lucifer). In Islam, the Devil does not actually reside in Hell.
Jews do not believe in Hell.
A common misconception is that Satan and Hell are connected, however, not at all, the contrary, GOD and hell are connected, which is a reason to why I kind of dislike god, why such a forgiving divine being ever wanna give torture like that, to as far as I see it, completely innocent people?
Discuss your feeling about these subjects, could they be real? Do you fear them, if so why?; If not, why?

Check out my post count. PURE AWESOME. *STOPS POSTING*
I would like to say such a place does not exist, but nobody can know anything for sure on the topic because people who die don't come back and say what death was like. :huh.gif: So where do people get the idea from in the first place.
I don't believe but if i was a believer i think Satan would look like this.
Really? I always pictured Satan looking like this
Back on topic, How am i supposed to know if its real or not when all there is to go on are three, Thousand year old books that have been changed and misinterpreted so much over the years.
I always pictured Satan as a guy with red skin, two red or black horns, a red tuxedo, black shirt, white tie. He would also have black wet hair with his bangs going backwards(I don't know the name of that haircut)
I don't believe in demons, satan, and hell. I thought about converting one time :wink.gif:
That, or he would be Giygas.

How am I supposed to know if it's real or not?

Oh ****, the devil's curly hair.

Coincidence?
I THINK NOT!
I don't believe in demons, satan, and hell. I thought about converting one time :wink.gif:

Uuuuuhhh.. nooo?
You win the internet sir.
Ontopic: If there is a Satan, I hope I won't paying a visit to him.
When I die, bury me face up so the devil can kiss my ass, cause I'm going to heaven.

I believe in a hell for everyone who deserves it. And because I'm extremely self-righteous, that doesn't include me.
But I think everyone who goes to Hell gets their own personal Hell.
