Swearing in and of itself is tolerable to a certain point. Some people just don't like it, and that's their preference.
What makes it bad is when it's used to excess. Like in some shows where every sentence has at least two, like the script was written by a bunch of preteens who just learned how to swear. Even those who swear casually are going to get annoyed when it's overused.

hades is for warriors. you would be corralled in a giant buffet hall, eat as much as you want, go out to fight until you were killed, immediately wake up back in the buffet hall, and then repeat for all Eternity.
you mean tartarus; which is for punishment.
I already discussed this, so I will look what I said about this 6 months ago.
"zeus, the "abomination of desolation," the only demon that could set foot in The Temple, was erased/destroyed by God as Thanks to Israel during the Eight Days in The Temple."
I assume it is a long-running joke by God that when someone tries to invoke the most powerful demon, they invoke one that was annihilated from existence in 200BC, 2200 years ago.
Each of the demons the greeks worshipped one-by-one moved their cult to Israel to conquer it to show up zeus whose cult conquered the lands their worshipers lived on. For example, when crete was conquered by the cult of zeus in athens, the demon who was called "patronus/poseidon" revealed his true name ("dagon") to his most devoted followers (who came to be known as the "philistines") and sailed to Israel to show he was not weak by trying to conquer the bloodline of Seth.
This ended with the philistines being wiped out along with their demon "god."
One-by-one they were all slain, until even the abomination was too.
Now we can have a civil discussion!
The problem is that an ego is no standard. This goes back to the famous public debate between Socrates and sophecles.
sophecles was the most famous playwright of ancient athens, and therefore possibly the richest and most powerful man of the world. when sophecles wrote a play, people would change their beliefs just to match it, sophecles was so wealthy and influential that he basically owned every judge, school administrator, and public official in ancient greece.
Socrates was a poor man who became a philosopher to conquer the errors of his day. He was not taken seriously by the elite or by athenians but was beloved by those living in the countryside or other cities.
Socrates started a small school that eventually became more influential than even the largest universities. His views could have been considered proto-Christian with his focus on Family and Absolute Truth, while also rejecting the "gods" of greece as usurpers of pure evil who are separating mankind from the real "Prime Mover."
This is where we get the word "demon," which is based on the ancient greek word for "they who divide."
Eventually there was a public debate to settle this cultural divide once and for all, and Socrates knew full well he would be murdered if he made a fool of sophecles; but did it anyways.
The rules of the debate were simple, basically the same ones we use in debates to this very day in honor of this event, and neither side could invoke any gods or speak in metaphysical terms.
sophecles started, and he gave a statement of his absolute relativism; sophecles said evil does not exist, but "good" does but only as a temporal effect localized to yourself. the example given was that it is a "temporal good" to be able to get away with steal what you want or kill your enemies, because your "problems" would be solved and you would get to keep your reputation as well. then that if you get caught you would not only lose your reputation but everything else as well, so that would not be a "temporal good."
Socrates said that it doesn't matter if you get caught, a thief is a thief whether anyone finds out they have stolen, and the same with murder or any other thing. Reality does not change by perception.
sophecles had no answer and conceded embarassed.
the crowd rushed the stage, beat Socrates within an inch of his life, dragged him by his hair down the streets of athens to the courthouse all while a riot was going on, where the judge instantly declared him guilty of a capital crime.
Socrates was then forced to drink poison on the spot.
Yet, Reality remains, even after Socrates was murdered; and sophecles' ideas could not even outlive him (despite him already being elderly at this time). Plus, while the sons of sophecles still rage to this day (usually they only appear during a civilizational collapse though), they always lose and are forgotten.
No, you're thinking of Valhalla, which is part of the Norse religion. I'm talking about ancient Greece and you're talking about Vikings. As far as I'm aware, there are no Vikings in Greek Mythology. (GOW Ragrnarok doesn't count.)
Hades is simply the realm of the dead where all souls, regardless of their behavior in life, ended up after death. From there, you had to be judged by Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus, who would decide whether you stay in Hades, or go to Tartarus or Elysium.
If you stay in Hades, you kind of just exist, but as a literal shadow of your former self. All that you have to do is wander aimlessly in the realm of the dead for all eternity, lacking any awareness of your surroundings unable to influence events in the world of the living.
Elysium is the closest thing to the stereotypical Heaven, but it's generally reserved for those deemed to be Heroic and simply being a good person in life isn't enough to get you in. You can also get there by being a child of one of the gods, but that's not really something you can work towards.
Tartarus was indeed for punishment, but it was only for those judged to be wicked by those three I mentioned earlier. You could also get there by angering the gods and they are angered very easily.
I'd answer the rest, but I don't want to end up like this:

hades is for warriors and the brave. you would be corralled in a giant buffet hall, eat as much as you want, go out to fight until you were killed, immediately wake up back in the buffet hall, and then repeat for all Eternity.
When King Leonidas said the famous quote (that is a real-life quote) "drink and eat hearty for tonight we dine in hades!" he is referencing the giant buffet hall of the eternal hunting grounds of hades.
Eastern Orthodox use the term "hades" for hell, and so that is where your confusion is coming from.
As for that being "valhalla" and "odin" respectively, the same demons are worshiped by different cultures with different names. it's likely that "hades" and "odin" (both "gods" of death) are the same creature.
tartarus is punishment for those who challenged the "gods" in some way.
asphodel was a state of Eternal stasis for everyone else; what you call "hades" here is asphodel.
Nope. It's an afterlife for the Heroes of ancient Greece, their descendants, and the children of the gods. Those who go there enjoy a carefree and easy afterlife where they are allowed to indulge in whatever activities they enjoyed on earth.
Besides, the gods are all powerful and can converse with whomever they like, whenever they like. They're more likely to call those they wish to honor with their presence to Olympus for a chat than make the trek down to wherever those souls end up. Easier for them and their busy schedules.
Again, that's Valhalla. Wrong religion. Hades is where all souls go after they die before they're judged. You kind of just chill out down there for eternity, but it sucks.
Hades doesn't have hunting grounds. Those are in Elysium. Hunting the animals in the realm of Hades will get you thrown into Tartarus, as those are sacred to the lord of the dead, and it's best not to anger Hades in his own domain.
Also, I'm pretty sure that's from the movie 300. I'd wager that the odds of him actually having said that are the same as him saying:

Actually, in the Orthodox view, hell is a construct of human perception defined as a state of rejecting the love of God and being in a state of active misery because of it. In their view, Heaven is a state of being that the soul achieves after death only by embracing His divine love and without doing so, one is lost by their own choice and will remain so until they learn to accept God's love for them, by which they will then be able to escape from their constructed reality of hate and enter the true reality of Heaven.
And dang it for making me say that. Do you have any idea how many gods I have to appease now? And in this economy? One does not shortchange the gods with cheap sacrifices!
What I call "Hades" is Hades. You're right on the Tartarus part, though. It's also more of a holding cell for dangerous monsters.
I wish the unnecessary "I HATE ALL RELIGION" crowd could come up with a meaningful answer as to what could possibly lie in the afterlife. :|
That's probably for the best. Or at least lock it.
The entertainment value from posting here has run its course and I'm half-sure that some of the posts were made by bots.
LOL the arrogance and delusion you put forward is just one of the many reason people are turned off by your nonsensical sky daddy bs. Why is it so hard for those of you who live under the delusion, to understand that others are not afflicted by your delusion. Thus not bound by your idiotic beliefs.
A void of nothing awaits all of us when we die. That's why wasting what little time you have alive going to church and restricting how you live just because some old guys in the Middle East 2000 years ago said so is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid
