What would be the definition of hell to you?

Just a funny meme I decided to use, but hell could mean anything other than the typical religious belief ones.

A place where the bad guy Satan which is in fact a good guy because is punishing the bad people?

I am sorry but that folder with heaven and hell got thrown into the fire.

A socially constructed idea of a place where people experience eternal damnation for not following a religious bias.

The upcoming SOTU address by Trump.

A world run by religious fanatics like in that Handmaiden Story TV show. A world with modern technology and Dark Ages thinking. Of all the dystopian visions of the future that would be the worst. Hell on Earth.

Right, like I said, the GOP reign.

A place where I'd be stuck in an emotionally abusive place without the opportunity for me to leave it. Where I'd be put down, reminded of my worthlessness, and chastised anytime I tried to be helpful. No aging out, no chance at moving away, only a blade against my wrist and the darkness I hide away in to escape the pain.

Before I became an atheist, I considered hell to be the complete isolation of the consciousness. It would be as if some spiritual tether was cut loose, flinging the soul irreversibly into the void.

Being with all those reborn people for eternity...

Hell is when/where you are constantly punished without any reason. The intensity of the punishment increases continually at an ever increasing rate and if you are not suffering enough,others you love are tortured to increase your suffering. There is no reason or justification for your punishment, there is no way out, there is nothing you can do to appease the punishers, no-one tries to help you in fact all those around enjoy you being punished and encourage it. Punishment is mental, emotional, physical.

    to Hell and come back alive, I have the scars and ashes to prove it.

To me hell isn't somewhere you can have fun

Indeed it can.
Hell, we have Hells on earth and plenty of them. How about this one. I lose all my money and my passport and somehow end up in the streets of a very poor country with no clean drinking water. I lost all my objects and property and live homeless, scavenging from bin or rubbish piles. I am losing my mind as I have no food and not enough water so that I cannot even think straight anymore. I have no way out. I just want to die, I wish I could kill myself but I haven't the strength ...

In these places there are people who were born into this Hell on Earth. Meanwhile in the west we worry about getting our moneys worth at Coles and getting the best bargains. And we complain about political leaders and who sings the best at a music competition.

Child mortality in poor countries like these: I've heard a figure that 1 child under age 5 dies each second!

Earth is a kind of Hell for many millions of people.

I donate to charities but sometimes wonder if the money gets to where I intended.

Yes, and while all the gluttons scarf down as much food as their guts will hold- with zero concerns for anyone other than themselves.

Some say hell is other people, I say hell is other people's children!

Losing everything.

I'm good. They all made fun of me, so I left. Gary picked on me on FB a lot for being thin and having depression. Wally told me to post something, then all the crap about the post I got. Then he made fun of me for posting it when he said to post it. I took all of those people from there off of FB. At least people here are nice to me and don't treat me badly for my depression and being thin.

I didn't like him (Gary) telling everyone that I lived in a group home and that I have mental illnesses. That is my business to tell. He constantly belittled me for being skinny. I'm aware that I am. I'm 5 ft tall exactly. The doctors say I'm healthy and my weight balances out with my height. He's a huge guy, so he was jealous of how I looked. When people get jealous, they belittle others. I left for my sanity. I'm healthy, gained 4 lbs of muscles, am happy in my new place, and work is good.

The crapstorm of stuff we might put ourselves through either mentally or situationally. That, to me, is the real meaning of hell.

Being conscious but not able to interact with anything. Eternal boredom.

Hell is what most US blacks face every day, the society seems to be against you (is against you) and no matter what you do you can't get ahead or make it better.
