well, not important to me but couldn't resist ...

IMO you should avoid any mistical and religious similarities and funny 
comparisms (remember what the fanatics brought up about the BSD daemon, even 
if completely wrong)

also avoid fantasies, but probably you were already in hell so you know about 
sulfur there :) ... there is no hell and sulfur at first thought  derives 
from "old eggs" and sometimes next day from beer excess and other marvelous 
things

you wouldn't use the name gaschamber either in synomity to holocaust so please 
let the hell, gods, wizzards and witches out

sooo, if you want express something strong, powerful and related to science 
but still mistical in a certain way you eventually like nitrogen or hidrogen 
or something else more real
