[So Christians, what exactly is your idea of what awaits us Atheists in hell?]
To many look forward to the gnashing and the wailing and the endless sweating and leathery straps and chains and gargoyle babes with whips... I suspect hell just leaves you literally alone, nothing but proud of not kneeling, a little chilly or too warm, hungry, achy, annoyed, lonely but sick of everybody, sleepy, anxious and constantly needing to pee though you can go forever and it just makes it a hair worse everytime... Hell is bleak, not even offering the thrill of torture...

Actually, he was saying that the little BDSM scene there isn't what he thinks hell is, but what he thinks a lot of people (who don't believe in hell) are looking forward to having in hell. For some reason he thinks you have to pee all the time in hell?
Actually, as visions of Hell go, this is pretty sophisticated.What Dreams May Come , where Annabella Sciorra was trapped in the decayed, perpetual disaster of her failed life without even being aware of it.
Hell just leaves me literally alone?

I think this is actually one of the more sensible ideas of hell -- complete isolation. I've thought of that before, but the added matter of everything being perpetually slightly off balance is a pretty imaginative detail.

"I suspect hell just leaves you literally alone, nothing but proud of not kneeling, a little chilly or too warm, hungry, achy, annoyed, lonely but sick of everybody, sleepy, anxious and constantly needing to pee though you can go forever and it just makes it a hair worse everytime" That was pretty much every weekend for me,back in the 80's
And Heaven is a lot of blue-white marble columns on a big blue-white marble floor, with misty clouds drifting around and everyone wearing a blue-white toga and playing a small hand-held harp. Well, that's what comes to most people's minds, I imagine.
Confused?
