		<description>Awesome post.  Thankee.

You should look up more about Gehenna, specifically.  From what I could tell in my half-assed research, Gehenna is a literal valley where either bad things happened for other gods or trash was incinerated (I said it was half-assed, didn&#039;t I?).  So saying someone would &quot;go to Gehenna&quot; may just have been a powerful rhetorical  insult of some kind.

Hades and Tartarus are from the Greek polytheistic religion, of course.  And you&#039;re right, Hades is not a bad place, just a place where you drink from Lethe and forget yourself.  I had a lil&#039; crush on Lord Hades when I was a teenager.  And I still wonder why the Greeks didn&#039;t pay him more homage.  After all, if that&#039;s where you&#039;re going to spend the majority of your existence, you may as well get in good with the management.</description>
