Colter's Hell

"But how..?" It was a reasonable question, although one Amaimon had not intended to let slip from him, but the words had tumbled out long before he could stop them. Samael had been so strong, so powerful....who or what could have killed him. Lucifer? The two always argued and sure every now and then they had exchanged a few blows, but those were small scuffles and verbal fights....how could it have gotten to the point of murder? And if it had, wouldn't there have been evidence, or even just…

I saw the scientist’s lab coat blowing in the hallway fan, as he was using some weird language to talk to someone. I tried to move into a hiding spot, but I could not move due to the burn on my leg. He came in and grabbed my favorite food and threw it into a weird bucket. He took some new food in a green bag and started to put it in my bowl. It tasted disgusting so I did not eat it. Then he picked me up, I started to cry because my amputated leg stub hurt so much. He took my mouth and opened it.…

Both The Devil and Tom Walker and The Devil and Daniel Webster are examples of stories in which men sell their souls to the devil. Despite their similarities, they show differences in areas including the way the devil is portrayed, the motivations of the men, the actions the men took to regain their souls, and the resolution. The devils in the two stories are portrayed very differently by the authors. In the Devil and Daniel Webster, the devil is portrayed as a well-dressed, persuasive man.…

Generally, the practice of phallic worship is found within the majority of ancient groups and various scholars such a James Weir, M.D., believes that its presence had been implanted in human nature since the beginning of time. The concept of Satan as an ‘evil spirit’ in our modern day definition exists a great number of times as a made-up superstition; on the contrary, the ancients believed they had a real life spiritual force that steadily advanced through time. In light of this, essentially…

One of the important aspects that the film incorporates in order to enhance the theme of religion are the intertextual references for the depiction of the devil. The intertextual description of devil in the hypotext’s of Greek mythology, The Odyssey and the Bible enhance and provide further meaning to the character of Sheriff Cooley. In image 1, Everett describes the devil as “red and scaly with a bifurcated tail” who carries “a hay fork”. However, Tommy Johnson swiftly interrupts by saying “Oh,…

I have always been a fan of the different interpretations people have of Heaven, Hell, or the in-between, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is one of my favorite interpretations, taking you on Journeys beyond belief. The divine comedy is separated into 3 Canticle, which means hymn, song or psalm, Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio) and Paradise (Paradiso). The story by many is said to be real and by some non-religious orientated people it is meant to be as basic mythology, of one man’s…
