Robot Hell and Real Hell

[on:]

If robot hell is in this plane of existance then where is the hell humans go to?, also who created robot hell and the Robot Devil?

Perhaps real hell ran out of room and they shove everyone into Robot Hell, just like with the mental institutions in "Insane in the Mainframe"

I'd say Robot Hell has absolutely no association with our hell (if it exists). The Robot Devil was probably built by the Temple of Robotology (DXC or Matt once said robots did build other robots in one of the commentaries) as a way to punish sinners.

Then why would Fry be able to make a deal with the Robot Devil? I wonder if the Robot devil knows that regular Devil.

Keep in mind that Robot Hell itself isn't technically a hell - it's run in a ride called "The Inferno" on a shut-down amusement park. I always figured that you'd only be taken there if you were part of the Robotology religion - after all, that's how it came across in Hell Is Other Robots. But things like The Devils Hands Are Idol Playthings and Futurama Comics #6 have somewhat warped that theory.

Perhaps the robot devil only has juristicion over robots, (i.e. he can only give away their hands and ears and whatnot) but humans can still make deals if they sign the contracts.

robot hell is artificial and according to leela no religion was correct thus cancelling out the hell theory in the first place.

I'll support the theory that the Church of Robotology built Beelzebot and gave him Robot Hell. Afterall what's a religion whitout the fear of eternal damnation?

Comics spoiler ahead:

This is the exact plot of comics #13.

Real Hell... Exists, except no one dared to tread there, so they made a "Second Hell", aka "Robot Hell" for Robots and SOME Humans, most of them dead.
What I'm saying is, Real Hell exists, but it's only for dead Humans.

Where is hell? Deep beneath Siberia, of course! Read this: http://www.snopes.com/religion/wellhell.htm

If there is, in fact, a Heaven and a Hell, all we know for sure is that Hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix -- A clean well-lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except for the ones who know in their hearts what is missing. . . . And beind driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there.  Missing.  Back-ordered.  No tengo.  Vaya con Dios.  Grow up!  Small is better.  Take what you an get....

Hunter S. Thompson

What is not there? Hunter S. Thompson? I'm sure I can survive without him.
...But what if I can't??

That reminds me of that joke with the health inspector visiting hell, and everythings beautiful, with beautiful gardens and waterfalls, airy forests and rolling hills, and then theres the one department the Devil is reluctant to show the health inspector. After some debate the devil gives in and opens the door on this one department the health inspector is yet to see, and inside theres the damned being flagellated by demons, or being scolded in sulphorous fires, or being turned on the wheel, or stretched on the rack... and the Devil says "this is so embarassing. I'm sorry, but the Catholics insisted on this"

Please don't get offended, anyone: I'm a (albeit lapsed) catholic myself, and that's why I've always found that joke very amusing.

OK, as if this thread wasn't silly enough in the first place...

Go find one of the religion threads.
