I had a friend relate this story to me. A friend of his had always been defiant guy, James (not his real name), but an encounter was going to change that.

One day, while he was walking past on of those “mini alters”, (the ones they put in coffee shops, on the ground kind), he decided to give it a kick! The God which lived in that altar followed him home and appeared before him. The God told him that he wasn’t going to take revenge or anything, but he wanted to help James change his ways and become a better person. So the God decided to bring him on a tour to Hell!

Like the story from The Scrooge Before Christmas, the God brought James soul to every level of Hell to should how torturous it was to be sent to Hell for all the sins he has committed. James recalled Hell was like what the Chinese had described. It had different levels, but he couldn’t remember how many, and he saw the various forms of torture carried out on those who had sinned, like how the tongue was cut and whipping of the tormented souls.

After the tour, the God brought James’s soul back to his resting body, and then the God disappeared. James has changed for the better according to my friend; I would think after such a tour, anyone would!
