Hell may
assault ears with
unearthly shrieks of
self-condemned rebels
tortured by vicious demons,
an infernal crackling
of eternal fire,
but worse yet
will be the
echoing miseries of sin,
utter absence of love,
awful silence of God.

That’s how I think of ‘hell’ Lynn… total absence of God’s love … Diane

This is frightening as well:
utter absence of love,
awful silence of God.

Hell might be that – sometimes that happens in life and it is a bleak kind of hell.

Silence has its own charm. It takes strength to get through life. Heaven and hell are our own creation, right?

There may be limits to our strength…heaven & hell are beyond us!

Hell might be that and even more… maybe each of us has a personal hell.

We may experience a taste of heaven and/or hell here…thanks, Dwight.

Nice description of hell as the awful silence of God and absence of love–worse than any fire.

I think we can caricature hell (and heaven)…until dead serious.
