Hell in popular culture

Christianity is the most popular religion in America, and shortly after that is Mormonism. These two religions are both grounded in knowing who Jesus is, and the basic fundamentals of the Bible. Although both of these religions claim to be Christians or a form of Christian, Mormons definitely have their own take on how things happened and what they think to be true. I grew up learning a tremendous amount about both of these. I am a grounded Christian believer, with a very broadened knowledge on…

Humans have always felt emotions and had conscience in everything that they do. As the world develops, humans start to develop cultures and different beliefs about religion. Because of the certain beliefs, people have been united as one to form the first civilizations of the world. As time goes on, these civilizations begin to form moral judgments that may have come from certain values and norms. Philosophers, authors, and religious authorities have influenced the world to lead our lives with…

instantly tell that by the creation of hip-hop it has done nothing but good for the nation. There have been multiple reports of people hating on the new culture of music, but they just do not truly understand it yet. Hopefully sooner or later people will realize the that life if tough and cruel so by artist creating hip-hop its just and escape from the hell they have been through or are going through.…

grew on a daily basis. As the years go by, I recognize hip hop as my genre of choice when listening to music. Not only did my appreciation grow for hip hop after hearing “Soul Food” by Logic, I came to see the culture he grew up in, the one he raps of, and the one considered to be black culture in a genre considered to be black, one that was almost the exact opposite…

Music in the 1900s was very popular/influential and produced many talented artists. The genres of music known at the time was hip hop, rap, jazz, classical, and rock and roll. Music at this time broke boundaries and brought people together who bonded over a single genre of music. Great musicians erupted during this time. Music did not belong to a single race/gender of people, but a multitude of people. A lot of artists pursuing music erupted during this time period and contributed to their genre…

on our bucket lists. For young teens and adults, the city of Chicago has been a popular area to inhabit. Exploring the city is beneficial because it provides many areas to tour such as parks, zoos, restaurants, beaches, and many more activity-filled areas. Walking around Chicago can still comfort us from all its beauty. Chicago is a pleasant place to spend some quality time with friends before going back to the hell-hole. When it comes to visiting the city personally, the beach areas, Lincoln…

In the Inferno, Dante begins on ground level and then he continues with his direction descending, going completely through the earth and hell. He winds up at the base of the heap of Purgatory on the opposite side. On the highest point of Purgatory there is the terrestrial heaven (the garden of Eden), and after that he works his way through the divine circles. It is the plot of the Divine Comedy and the account of Dante's adventure towards reclamation. The Inferno is for the most part thought to…

The renaissance is the re-birth of classical ideas. Many artists of this period were influenced by the Roman and Greek culture and wanted to re-create their works by adding their own touch and thoughts. Also, at this time, art began to flourish and patrons commissioned many artists. Artists like Michelangelo Buonarroti and Hieronymus Bosch were and still are very famous for their works. In this essay, I will discuss “The Last Judgment” done by both Michelangelo and Bosch. Michelangelo was from…

in its purest unadulterated form. They value the authenticity of western culture: the good, the bad, and the ugly. An appreciation for American gluttony and beauty at the same time. That’s not to say they won’t vehemently defend their own culture when the two worlds collide. When it comes to American culture in the Middle East, it’s been integrated, it’s been segregated, but what it hasn’t been is ignored. American culture is too pervasive, and sickeningly addictive. Billions of people all over…

however, there are more similarities between Purgatory and the Darkness of Tarturus. If you had made poor life decisions and were a mean-spirited person, you ended up in the Darkness of Tartarus. The Darkness of Tartarus can be closely compared to Hell, however it is much more forgiving. The monumental difference between the Roman Empire and Christianity pertains to the aspect of allocation of the evil souls. Somebody who is sentenced to the Darkness of Tartarus can always make amends for his…
