Hell

When it comes to the world down under (not to be confused with Australia, which people do often), people generally don't want to talk about it, which makes Hell the perfect place to start.

For the seventh and eighth grade, I went to a Catholic School in Indiana named St. Luke. The school itself was designed like the branches of a tree, with small, winding corridors branching off of the Narthex leading to more corridors which eventually reached a cluster of classrooms. Kids who went there throughout grade school said the Church was built first, and the basement was expanded greatly and converted to a school, and the winding hallways were due to the builders avoiding gas lines. I still remember how blinding the sun was at the end of the day, as my eyes adjusted to the lack of natural light.

Now I know what you're thinking, and no, I am not comparing my school to Hell. Despite the dreariness of the school, the one thing I will never forget is a priest named Father Joe. He was a part of the Church for only three years before he left for D.C. to study Canon Law in 2011, the year I graduated. Near the end of the year, he went to our religion class to do an omnibus Q&A session on Catholicism. It was then I thought of something I had never really wondered before: what is Hell like?

Upon asking this, Father Joe smiled and replied: "We don't know much about what Hell looks like, but all you need to know is its the complete absence of God. If you can imagine what an eternity without God is like, its all you need to know to not want to go there."

The entire class was silent. An eternity without God... its the worst thing to endure in all of existence. Period. This begs the question, one I wish I asked Father Joe before the bell rang: "What kind of person is sinister and unforgivable enough to deserve an eternity without God? Who is so sinister that they deserve to go to Hell?"

This question isn't intended to be taken hypothetically: post your thoughts in the comments.

Когда речь заходит о мире вниз под (не путать с Австралии, где люди часто), народ в целом не хотите говорить, что делает Hell идеальное место для запуска. Седьмой и восьмой класс, я пошел к католической школы в штате Индиана с именем Св. Луки. Школа сама по себе была разработана как ветвей дерева, с маленькими, ветвях коридоров в притворе ведет к более коридоров, которые в конечном итоге достигнутого кластер из классных комнат. Дети, уехал во всей начальной школы говорит, что Церковь была построена первая, и цокольном этаже был расширен и преобразованы в школу, и обмотки коридоры были из-за строителей избежать газопроводов. Я до сих пор помню как ослепляющего солнца был в конце дня, в качестве моего глаза на отсутствие естественного освещения. Теперь я знаю, что вы, и нет, я не сравнение моей школы в ад. Несмотря на dreariness от школы, то я никогда не забуду - священника с именем отца Джо.
