    If one wants to get a little nutty and dive into the religious esoterics, the theory of Hell is one in which people who cannot coexist peacefully are forced to exist separately.

    Hell is something wicked people create for themselves. You burn for eternity because you’ve rejected a model of life that doesn’t involve tormenting other people for your own satisfaction and surrounded yourself with people who feel the same way.

    Incidentally, this is an idea Hazbin Hotel explores in its second season.

      Or if we are talking about Christianity, you also go there if you are an apostate. And since I have not believed in the Bible since I was 7 I would also be heading down there.

      8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

      Theology is fun.

        This is an interpretation often pushed as the only answer by particular sects but it’s not accurate to say that every Christian sect. believes this. Belief as a prerequisite to heaven is not universally held amongst all Christian sects.

      Not sure that I understood everything but congrats 👏

      Also, tried to watch Hazbin Hotel but got sick of it when I saw that the only thing it’s about is sex (the candels, jokes, some characters…).
