"The gates of hell are locked from the inside by man's free choice."

Sartre

Hell is defined by some as separation from gods. I believe that Sartre is saying that some of us want nothing to do with gods, whether that is because we don't believe in any or that we would not want to consort with them, should they exist. Or both.

If hell is eternal torment (another common definition) then Sartre would be saying that we are the undying authors of our own torment.

... probably because God has a sense of humor.

Lebenz · #37 05-25-2006, 01:51 PM

While standing in line and in a brilliant display of cynical existentialism Sartre was heard to say that “Hell is other people.”

kott · #38 05-25-2006, 01:52 PM

... or a great sense of irony.

kott · #39 05-25-2006, 01:53 PM

... or was drunk.

Lebenz · #40 05-25-2006, 01:54 PM

….but of course, being an existentialist, he knew the comment was meaningless….

Aren't we? To some degree at least?

BTW, last night I was watching Young Frankestein. I was looking for the scene depicted on your avatar. There are so many times during the film when he stikes that pose. Your avatar, however, seems to come from the opening scenes, when he is still teaching at the medical school.

Funny guy, funny movie.

Saint Peter is my bi+ch

Correct! Strange that there has only been one reply on a serious note.

Another I like to add- John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life!

It's a ridiculous and ambiguous question... Why would you expect serious responses?....

The question is subject to both serious and humorous interpretations/responses.

It all depends on one's POV.

If I was God I would have a great time watching humans trying to figure out my "plan" for them. I may even get a good chuckle or two.
