    I don’t know about Islamic texts, but the Bible doesn’t really say much about hell. If you want to learn about hell, you have to go to preachers. Fire and brimstone is their bread and butter. The more they talk about hell, the more money they make.

      Even the “lake of fire” Jesus talks about is a reference to burn pits outside of town where they got rid of garbage. Almost as if taking everything in the bible literally is the wrong lense.

        Exactly. There is no actual “hell” in the bible, it’s a lake of fire, which is not even a lake. Christians have no clue what their bible actually says. Spoiler Alert: there is no satan.
