Sinners, be warned. What an ugly concept.
A Lake is a body of water. A lake of fire is a body of water on fire. So, it's polluted with flammable effluent, or something. Or the lake itself isn't water, but a flammable liquid, like jet fuel. Or maybe, lava. A volcano is a pit of hell. Or maybe the term is poetic, and a campfire or something is somehow a lake. Like a furnace is a lake... Or, the reflective surface of a lake can give you a sunburn :-). HELL can mean 3 things, basically. a. Death, b. Suffering, or c. Suffering for All Eternity.
Death, for All Eternity (once you're dead, you'll stay dead, no?)
Suffering, from being burned. First, second, or third degree burns. Anything from a sunburn to incineration. SUFFERING is a fact of life, of everyone, of neurons, of mind, of losing what you want to keep and not getting what you want in the first place, of grief, depression, pain, attachment, aversion, torture and torment, and the trials and tribulations of mistakes, misfortune, and disease, aging, dying, death. Ignorance and delusion cause suffering, anguish, discontent. Anger, hatred, rage, wrath, fury, ire, spite, malice, a thirst for revenge, payback, justice, cause misery, too. Kindness and compassion are the answer. That is to say, love and good will and gratitude and cheer and service and a commitment to virtue, goodness, morality, honesty, truth. Anyway, burning hurts, and death hurts maybe, but then you don't feel anything forevermore, so Rest In Peace, without a consciousness to feel pleasure or pain, or eyes to register blackness.
Suffering for All Eternity. That's something else ENTIRELY. This shit is INSANE. Maybe it refers to the pain of childbirth, and the wish for life to go on indefinitely. Or maybe suffering will always be with us, as a fact of existence, just like how Jesus said, the poor will always be with us. Never say never, never say always, and nothing lasts forever, IMPERMANENCE is an iron law of Nature. So this is just intimidation, to put the fear of God into people, to scare sinners straight, and keep people on the straight and narrow. 'All Eternity' is pleonastic, by the way. But a finite line of time can always be broken into infinite increments.
aside: RIP and crying tears. How is that parallel to rips and tears (of a fabric, say). Huh? Ask a man of the cloth?
also, you can't burn for all eternity. Burning is, by definition, the consumption of a fuel - which will eventually burn itself out. Even a sun isn't forever (although it's a helluva long time). Maybe SUNLIGHT is the lake of fire. It's a liquid, metaphorically. Bathed in light, a pool of light, a stream of particles from the solar wind... So getting a suntan, or Endless Summer, is "hellish."
The Word. Hell, he will? He'll, heal! Huh? Ha. What is hell? Ow. Ouch. 2 and 2, like 'lake' and 'fire' (actually). 3125 and 6995. Of course. 2 and 2 is 22 and V and 4 and BB, KK, TT, BK, KB, BT, TB, TK, KT. The book of numbers is the 4th. Katie at Burger King with Tuberculosis in an Audi. Right. Bibi with at BB gun, and KB's toys, and Bind Torture and Technical Knockout... It does make a kind of sense, actually. Four was a cellmate. V stands for vampire, villain. KK? I don't want to ever go there. Ache of Ire? Burning with desire? The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you. Strange what desire will make foolish people do. Some say the world will end in fire, others in ice. Burning and freezing can feel similar. Window pane and wind, ow, pain. Shards in the mind of Philip Glass. Win dough? Win some pizza dough?? ouch. Santa delivers coal to you in hell? Ouch! A place of pain. Like a dungeon. Hopefully not Reality, or Mind. Death is heaven if it comes as a relief, which is all that can be said for hell. Hell, I did it. I wrote about hell. I did everything? I'm God. Burn me. I dare you. No I don't. My earnest belief is if you send someone to hell, you deserve hell yourself. And if God is good, justice will happen. Shit happens. Anyway, it seems like I'm playing with fire. I don't believe in eternal torment, or a just God creating or allowing such a thing, or souls, or Omnipotence, or an immortality of pain, an infinity of agony, or unending misery. I don't believe in Heaven, either. I hope I wake up from death, and discover I'm wrong. But if I found myself in Heaven, I would be hit with the reality (real possibility) of Actual Hell maybe existing. So maybe I wouldn't be on 7th heaven, cloud 9, yada yada. I actually don't think I want there to be Heaven! Infinite pain should not be a possibility. As much as I might be consumed with TOTAL HATRED for a heinous criminal, a depraved monster, an evil and wicked demon, I know that NO ONE deserves ETERNAL punishment. That is SO sick and twisted. People that want hell are demons, themselves. It's not a place, it's a state. God help us all. God knows that justice involves the principle of proportionality. Let the punishment fit the crime! Let mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and understanding rule. Let there be light, and let's prevent pain, and may laughter fill the air, and the world be blessed with bliss :-)
Here's a joke. The cost of Louis' cosmetic surgery? Winsome, Lou's sum. Another: Where is my mind? Go find yourself. Hahaha. God's Audi bodyshop, where gaudy meets naughty hotties over hot toddies and baked cod, with a nod to modern hot rods and hot wads.... God in the sod, and death in the breath, and life in the strife, and the devil in the details. Love in the glove compartment. Hate at the gate. Joy in the dish soap aisle. Santa delivers Satan. Satan and Hell, 10 and 10, like spirit fog! And so it goes. A lump of coal for you, Devil! Devils, demons, monsters, hellions, criminals, sinners, and scallywags! Depraved villains, evil wicked abortionists, and Methodists! Vicious vampires. Rapists, murderers, cannibals, abusers, torturers, predators, traffickers, enslavers, exploiters, arsonists. Hitmen, extortionists, armed robbers, and burglars. Thieves, polluters, jaywalkers, speeders, vandals, and litterers. Those who lie, cheat, and steal. Baddies who didn't rewind their videotapes. Carnivores and people who leave the seat up! Muahaha. Instigators and witches! Spiritual anarchists! Rebels of anarchy, mayhem, and chaos (with or without a cause or clue)! Gods of destruction and apocalypse and war and revolution! Non-conformists!! Paradigm-switchers! People who, gasp, change their minds, or beliefs, or lifestyles, or friends, or churches, or political parties, or citizenship, or loyalties. People not robots who live with variety and change their routines!! MOVING VIOLATIONS. Be still, and know that. People who believe in Freedom, damn the torpedoes, and can't help but defy their cruel, stupid, deluded psychic tormentors who should be minding their own damn business. Blu, Bleu, and Blue are a trinity of rays, cheeses, and whales (with blow holes). No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind Blew eyes. Blue meanies and blue man group and blue sunshine. Good day, sunshine. GDS and GPS. Liquid sunshine, and liquid gold, and liquid death. Liquid for a sick kid. Fogies in a fog of the forgotten. Remembered members. Dad's pictures of penises (have you seen us?).
In an infinite universe, we are motes on a speck floating in the middle of nowhere, all alone, surrounded by an inky Vast of blackness, darkness, cold, and an occasional rock, orbiting an exoplanet, that circles a star made of plasma, doing fusion to tons of gas, like a giant lit fart, that spits out a solar wind, and -thank god- some light, for levity or warmth or sight. Levity is light-hearted, but the most light comes from something that sucks the most gravity. Weird world. Space is the place for Ace Young. A race between races, goes not to the swift? Rapidity, speed, fastness or slowness, quickness, rate, pace, tempo, momentum, velocity. What is the pace of this Space place? How fast is the Vast? How slow does it go? Is there a need for speed? Distance needs persistence and assistance, or the travel will unravel. How does it feel in a black hole? It's hot hot hot in the center of a star, but the further you go, the closer to Absolute Zero (stillness). How does THAT feel? Getting burned, and having an icy heart and cold disposition, and feeling warm feelings toward Luke. I like Luke. Luke on a lake. Taking a leak. Loki lacks a lick of lox, but Lex likes lox, so you're in luck. Triangle of judgement: Me, Myself, and I. Innocent or Guilty as sin. I don't believe sin exists (just crime, and consensus reality/morality), or a God to make a universal theistic morality, or Hell to punish and enforce it, and we're all just waiting for death, we're all dying from the moment we're born, getting closer to death, and Humanity is waiting to die, too. Ugh. Sorry.
Tony, Toni, Tonee. Anthony, Antonio, Anton, Antoine, Tony, Toni. Toe-knee. Tone-E. Anthony Hopkins and hopping skins and To NY and 2 and Jesus and Tony Sauer and Tony Robbins and Tony the Tiger and Antonio Banderas and San Antonio... Tony Hawk!
Maybe, to be simplistic about the whole thing, hell is just getting burned. Whatever meaning you want to give that, for whatever duration or degree. Maybe the title expression means, "fire will always hurt." I'd be surprised if evolution created future humans without pain. Also, 122 C and 540 C. That's the highest temperature life has been discovered to live at, and the lowest temperature of lava. Why is there madness? People are MAD because of being Mistreated, Abused, Disrespected.
DAE, dead for all eternity. DAG, dead and gone. GOD, gone oblivion dead. Herpetologist with herpes. Soaring angels from a sore angle. The shrieking of chic shiekhs. Andy's candies, Cherie's berries, apple Snapple, and Pete's pizza. Don't treat me that way, Candy!
