Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Your segment on “Hell” reminded me of a story I was told in public elementary school, a story that scared the, um, hell out of me, and has stuck with me ever since.
Hell is a giant movie theatre. You sit in the middle, and your spouse, children, parents, etc. sit beside you. Beside them sits your friends, and beside them are your co-workers, and so on until the movie theatre is filled with everyone you’ve ever known. The movie starts and it’s your life, as if an invisible camera has been following you for your entire life. And so the audience sees every single thing you’ve ever done, even in private, and as the movie plays the audience can stop the movie to comment. (I may be mistaken on this point, but I vaguely remember mention that all your thoughts play over the speakers). The movie plays on a loop for eternity. That is hell.
I’ve never been able to find this story, nor know of anyone else that was told it in school. Beyond the obvious “moral” the teacher was trying to impart (ie, don’t do bad things even when no one is looking), I’ve always found this story quite sinister. My private thoughts and actions are evil and dirty and everyone will eventually know what I’ve done… IN HELL!
Do you know of this story? Thoughts?
Yet another example of the destructive intent of the public education system. They (and the church) know what a powerful weapon guilt can be and use it effectively to mold the behaviour of children. The psychological damage to such innocents is immeasurable.
