So, you don't believe in God, but you are asking a question about hell.

Interesting.

Definition of a personal hell:

An entirely agonizing experience, whether physical or emotional (or both), as subjectively experienced by an individual.

Having nothing to eat but McDonald's chicken nuggets.

Reading is obviously not your strong point.

The o.p. said NOTHING about not believing in god. He simply said that he did not believe in CREATIONISM.

Are you even aware that tons of people believe in god, but do NOT believe in creationism? For example, some people pray when they get sick. This does NOT mean they must blame our existence on some genie zapping us here in 6 days.

Have to agree, a life of complete and total lameness. A neutered existence.

A big night eating out is dinner at Chillies.

You save up so you can take a "fantasy vacation" at... Disney.

Shoot. Me. In. The. Face.

So you have a 9-5 job--fine, maybe it's not exciting work, not your dream job, but why would you expect not to work (i.e. suck it up and do something you don't necessarily enjoy) for a living? People used to persistence hunt. People used to work unholy under miserable conditions hours in factories and fields (still do, elsewhere). You didn't come by existence with the promise that everything would be fun and easy and free. Going forward, your 9-5 type job doesn't have to define your existence! You do what you have to do, and spend the rest of the time being a complete human being. You can still run 100 miles/week, take drugs, party, engage in kinky sex, whatever you may like. A "wife and 3 kids" shouldn't be these faceless burdens. There's such a thing as love.

So say you have a 9-5, a wife, kids, and a home in a pleasant, logical location.

You don't have to go to Chili's! Go to the run-down but delicious Mexican joint that serves something unusual. You don't have to vacation at Disney--camp in a tent at a national park, go to a big city, whatever.

I liked Charles Bukowski when I was 17 but I'm 21 now--you start to grow up and get over yourself.

Rather along the lines, to me, anyway, of Chelsea Clinton lamenting or whining that her grandmothers did not have access to legal abortion.

this^^ these people have no idea how lucky they are to even have a job as a young person in this economy.

You guys are proof as to why those places and those kind of lives are popular.

How old are you? You sound very young. If this is your personal hell, what exactly is your "personal heaven"? Single, no kids, no job, and living in the streets?

Trapped in a doctors office waiting room, and there is a T.V. blaring "The View"

about to leave this earth wrote:

-being permanently physically debilitated due to having arthritis in all of my joints, living with chronic pain, being unable to partake in aggressive physical activity and cut off from all jobs that require the use of my body.

-living in an economic depression in which there are no entry-level jobs for anything that would be physically suitable, and having been unemployed for so long that I am now permanently unemployable in this economy.

-being 30 years old and financially dependent on parents whom I don't really like or respect and forced to cohabitate with my evil meth addict brother whom I despise.

-because of the forgoing issues, being permanently unable to date.

I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined that my life could turn out to be such a living nightmare, and I can't wait for it to be over.

Sorry to hear that bro, I know that sucks. Have you applied for social security disability?

I make $1000 a month delivering newspapers, so no,

I'm pretty sure it's 1040/month is the cutoff, and there are some things they don't count (at least for supplemental security income, not sure if it's the same for disability). Your state might have something similar too.

An xfit gym.

Mostly because of the people, not the workouts.

Religious neighbours on all sides.
