About this episode

Have you ever thought about what hell would feel like? You do not have to believe in any religion to imagine what your worst experience would be. Hell surpasses religion. Real hell is unimaginable because eternity is not something our minds can understand. Eternal suffering is scary as a concept but can we really comprehend it?While reading A Short Stay in Hell by Stephen L. Peck, I tried to understand what eternal suffering would really feel like through the main character. In the end, I decided it would be very miserable, and yet, I did not completely understand it. It escaped my imagination, and I have a very vivid one. I failed to understand eternity, but I vaguely got the idea of eternal suffering. Suffering is unfortunately easy to relate to. Try to imagine this version hell presented, maybe you will understand the concept of eternal suffering. P.S I apologise for the ghost haunting this audio. It's definitely not the producer's fault.
