Yep, Hell sure kicks ass. Here are some fine tortures to
choose from. Or better yet, try 'em all!
Sin ~^~ Punishment
---------
Pride...............broken on the wheel
Envy................put in freezing water
Anger...............dismembered alive
Sloth...............thrown in snake pits
Greed...............put in cauldrons of boiling oil
Gluttony............forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes
Lust................smothered in fire and brimstone
