sheeez! and all because he had a hangover and skipped mass once on new year’s day back in the eighties and forgot to confess it…..
.that mortal sin will have you burning forever in the fires of hell
Joe, sometimes I wonder if you don’t really have the driest sense of humor ever.
Sheol was the word used in Aramaic. Hades is used because it’s a Greek translation we usually work with. Hades was the Greek/Roman version of Hell. Hell comes from our Norse friends goddess of the dead, Hel. Greeks also gave us the notion that Satan rules in hell or that his imps torment folks there. No Bible reason for it.
See, Ushi. The bait drew the fish. You can now smile.
Must have been a really bad stand up comedian … or perhaps a very evil critic for stand up comedians …
Also, the word “Satan” is derived from “Satyr” Satyrs were mythical beings who were servants of the god Dionysus (the Greek god of parties, wine and other fun stuff) … incidentally Satan also bears an uncanny resemblance to the Satyrs (half man half goat and all that)
Oh and his pitchfork is supposed to come from Posiedon’s (or Neptune’s) trident

Too sin is, indeed, mortal, hawks. You forgot the divine part.

Isn’t ANYONE going to explain that this isn’t really Hell, and tell us exactly what the bible says about it?

No, I DON’T enjoy it, Joe. I would MUCH rather you got help for your problems and no longer wished to anger as many people as possible…
(And then blamed your problems on those whom you angered.)
