We watched a scene from the movie Bedazzled- A guy was given 7 wishes in trade for giving his soul to the Devil. On his last wish he wished for the love of his life to live happily ever after. Since he wished for something completely selfless the "contract" was voided and he got to keep his soul.
Think about Selfish vs Selfless as another point.
Think about Selfish vs Selfless as another point.
We watched a scene from Devils Advocate- A son finds out his father is the Devil and has killed his wife. He starts to piece everything together and realizes that he is on track to join her in hell.
The Devil says his favorite sin is vanity which ties back to being selfish.

We opened up class by passing out donuts and gathering around the board to finish listening to music about hell. We listened to Flogging Molly, Devil Went Down to Georgia, Crossroads, and Highway to Hell. We were asked to point out themes in the songs we came up with:
Choice between heaven and hell
Asking for forgiveness
God stops listening when you're in hell
The choices you make will lead you to heaven or hell
It is a one way ride to hell.
After the songs, we looked at photos that represent hell and took notes on them. In most of the photos there were common themes such as: little light, mostly dark, people in Limbo, sinful nature, and violence in hell.
