There are websites which catalogue potential gateways and entrances to hell http://www.entrances2hell.co.uk, in . and around the United Kingdom. If you find a particular gateway, you are told to submit it and scientists from America and experts from Europe will investigate your submissions. Many people have done so, the site them names such locations quite strangely as ‘ Banu’, ‘ Vowo mi’, ‘wash’ and ‘tekker’, such names to me mean nothing. Yet the so called expertises and founders of the website claim that these spaces, are gateways to another world. We see them everyday, we might pass them or even touch them and not know what they are. What is catalogued in their findings so far are images of doors, gates, holes in walls, sheds, arches, even a pile of rubble.
This caused me to contemplate on my earlier discussion, (The previous blog entry) of digging in my back garden, if I submitted a picture of this to the site, would they regard it as an entrance to hell?. The website, additionally provides a set of safety rules, as entrances to hell for them, can be extremely dangerous places. You can buy these safety rules in a poster format. The rules are as follows:
1) Never go into an entrance to hell.
2)Always approach an entrance on your stomach.
3)Don’t shout at the devil
4)Wear rubber gloves 3-4 days after your visit
Is this just a joke website or are the people involved in this ‘for real’?. Please have a look and get back to me. For me, it appeared to be the work of an over enthusiastic and over exaggerated mind. I sighed in disbelief and humour at the childishness and boredom that must of consumed its creators. Its quite light hearted and humorous, therefore, like many other sites claim, is it just for fun? Yet, I urge that concepts such as heaven and hell are religious concepts, thus, is it justified and ethical for people to make fun of it, in this sense the internet has become a tool for religious ideological mockery.
