    Hell is a strange concept to me in general. What’s stopping the people there from overthrowing Satan if he’s such a miserable tormentor to literally all of them? Maybe hell would have a caste hierarchy that dilutes revolutionary energy. Also, isn’t it supposed to be that God allows it to exist, which means he could stop hell at any time? Seems a bit sus to me.

    I am probably more hard on religion because of learning it in the context of colonizer culture.

      It’s the hole where god puts the things that don’t love them. Just a miserable pit.

      I think of it less like a prison, more like the island of misfit toys. Things aren’t right down there, but everyone is gunna do what they can to make it as tolerable as possible.

      Of course I don’t believe in hell in an actual sense, which is unfortunate, because some people definitely deserve to languish for all time
