My Idea of Hell

My idea of Hell is not that of demons with red-pokers, emerging from hot flames... as Dante's Inferno; this is the harshest punishment! Shouldn't all persecuted people have initiated a crusade against the Catholic Morarchs in Spain manupulated by the Pope? Nobody dared to defy the powerful Queen and King, who ordered the Spanish Inquisation...in a land of forced idolatry, incinerating all bibles and burning people at the stake. The Gospels in the hands of ignorant people? God forbid...if truth were revealed to them! And should have, a disguised woman, ever been elected pope? But what Martin Luther did was outrageous and crazy, contradicting the Holy Scriptures and defiling the name of the Virgin Mary! When Hitler invaded Poland, and built concentrated camps, to burn innocent Jews in gas chambers, what did Pope Pious XII do to condemn this insane man? He kept his silence and let them die! And why did all of Europe fear Hitler, who misled his own, instead of taking him down? Much more could have been done to spare millions of lives, who writed in their fleshless skeletons, waiting on the compassionate American and British soldiers to liberate them! And that confirms my idea of hell here...on our earth, where more are facing innhaliation, while all nations seem unaffected or blind! Lovers of lies and deceits, you can hate me for stating this, but I had to let it out of the depth of my shameful pride... of having been hiding this truth and never confessed it; a naive Catholic, a lad like many forced to recite and not read, a young mind deprived of receiving the truest message from the very mouths of those who declared to worship Christ! Many false faiths make up this Babylonian, current system; while other world religions claim their god to be the true one! Soul, get out of this blazing inferno, where vengeful and fallen angels poke my flesh and make it proufoundly bleed...don't let them torment me anymore! Archangels faithful to God, escort me out of these chambers that confine me into their walls! My idea of Hell is not of that believeable word-of-mouth, passed on by genarations of honest folks kept in ignorance; my idea of Hell is very real in my prospective, not a fantasized vision, which doesn't corresponds to reality or reason! Only facts that sustain plausibility make me a devourer of truth; bringing me closer to the healing power of the Bible's words! Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
