Dante s inferno 2
Dante s inferno 2What is Hell? What is Heaven?
Where does a person who commits a heinous sin go? Where does a person who did legitimate things and prays all his life go? This is what distinguishes hell and heaven. Hell is to people, what school is to students, a place where souls of all morals, good or bad, were consigned after death. This is the place of punishment of Satan and the other fallen angels and of all mortals who die unrepentant of serious sin. On the contrary, heaven is to people, what I would be as president, a place where Gods, gods, or other spiritual beings dwell, and the place of perfect supernatural happiness for the redeemed in the afterlife.

Hell is for people who continuously commit sins.
Hell…an inconceivable place. I portray hell as a conflagration with wicked sinners being tortured in ways can’t be imagined. They deserve what was coming. Candidates for hell could be all the people committing criminal acts, murder, vandalism, and heinous sin. Souls enter here and stay for eternity until the day comes where all the souls are rejoined with their bodies. This place would be guarded with hideous monsters that are big and frightening. Monsters that are half-human half animal, like the Minotaur, who has a body of a man and a head of a bull.
Heaven is the exact opposite of Hell. People who did righteous things are blessed and granted paradise,...
