    I feel like the key to being in hell is to break right away. You’re in there forever, no matter how much of a tolerance you could build up here you’re going to break down eventually. And in the long run it won’t matter if you held out for ten minutes or ten years.

      I’m a Buddhist. You’re not in hell realms forever. Some Buddhists also conceive of hell realms as excessively unpleasant mental states, so people are walking around experiencing them right now, maybe even you.

      There’s a story of a birth previous to Lord Buddha being in hell. That being showed compassion towards another being who stumbled and was whipped. That compassion led to a birth outside of the hell realm.

      In short: not every religion has a timeless hell. Buddhism doesn’t even have timeless gods. They’re living beings too, just very long lived and potentially self-important ones.

    We’re already in hell, and the restaurant industry is one of the inner circles. I’m pretty sure I saw Judas at the drive through the last time I went to Taco Bell, but that might have been the drugs.
