Not my view; it's the paradigm on which the Deadlands' concept of the

And here's your answer, "the next world applied to everyone in deadlands it
just took on the appropriate background for the
persons belief."  Victoria Hellstrome committed suicide, and she believed
she would go to a "Hell of Suicides," so she did.  It's not my "western
mindset" that put her there, but her own.

Watch "Dogma" if you want an example of how humanity' perceptions can affect
Hell.

"You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Ghost Rock, son. Nothing else in the
world smells like that. I love the smell of ghost rock in the morning. You
know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over
I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Yank body. The
smell, you know that sulphurous smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...
victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."
