Choir Boy Outfit and the Fears of Hell

I happened to be talking to my friend Rocky when the subject of religion popped up. We began discussing all things metaphysical and as you well know, Hell is one of the topics in that category. The word Hell in my mind is always followed by ' if Hell really existed it would be one hell of a scary place. Isn't it weird how the word hell is used to describe Hell?' I know it's a little...obvious? Sad? Whatever but it's still the first thing that goes through my head. Rocky happened to try to convince me that the place exists and that I should be more pious, but I'm agnostic so it will obviously not work very well. I mean it made me laugh to see him try this out because he's a tall(taller than me) football jock who happens to sing in his church choir. He's a baptist by the way. I personally find it even more funny picturing him singing in his church choir wearing a choir boy outfit. What's more he has afro-ish hair and slacks off like crazy, but he is rather intelligent. We tend to argue just for the sake of enjoying a debate. Back to religion... My other friend Arielle is actually a protestant/atheist with a talking phone. The reason I say she is a protestant/atheist is simply because she is "supposed" to be protestant but in reality is atheist, although hell befall her if her parents found out. Her phone doesn't really talk but she kept opening and closing it and it makes a sound so she said it must be telling her, "Stop it!" So here I am sitting around talking about the scary as hell prospect of hell actually existing while our all-Catholic friends want to try to lynch us for even saying it doesn't exist. Be back later. >Runs from incoming lynch-happy Catholics<
