Other religions, which do not conceive of the afterlife as a place of punishment or reward, merely describe an abode of the dead, the grave, a neutral place that is located under the surface of Earth (for example, see Kur, Hades, and Sheol). Such places are sometimes equated with the English word hell, though a more correct translation would be "underworld" or "world of the dead". The ancient Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, and Finnic religions include entrances to the underworld from the land of the living. | Other religions, which do not conceive of the afterlife as a place of punishment or reward, merely describe an abode of the dead, the grave, a neutral place that is located under the surface of Earth (for example, see Kur, Hades, and Sheol).

[[Occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]] believed one of the portals to Hell existed at the [[Devil's Gate Dam]] in Pasadena, California. Crowley's fellow [[magician]], rocket scientist [[Jack Parsons]], chose Devil's Gate Dam as the location for NASA's Joint Propulsion Laboratory. | |||
