Three depictions of Hell

from a German text (circa 1890) have me thinking of spending some time in Hell.

Oddly it doesn't look all that bad. More like people waiting in an airport.


This guy in the lower right seems to be saying

"By golly, I'm standing in flames!"




These
people
don't seem
to be doing badly
at all. The flames are
higher, but, nobody's hair
has even caught
on fire.
Here, things seem a little more dire.
And at last, one person has buried their
face in their hands.



Hell, Purgatory, Heaven.

It's the original video game.

it may be a peculiarly catholic interpretation that there's hope even in hell
an old argument
thinkers
asking the question
can anything limit the extent
to which god's mercy can go forth
even hell redeemed
now that's a graphic spiel
