    There’s definitely gonna be a lot more dogs than cats in hell. If we go by the rules of the bible, killing a human will make you go there and a lot more dogs kill humans than cats do.

        Yeah, well, the Bible sucks. Odin literally has wolves chilling under the feasting table at Valhalla and Freya is a battle-crazy cat lady. If you like animals, find your way to Asgard. It’s also delightfully free of Christians!

            Yeah, and that’s my American bias showing. The potential I might die violently doing something as mundane as grocery shopping is a daily risk factor. The admission fee is low here so I forget there’s a lot of folks who don’t have an easy path to the halls of glory. But even without a violent death, you still get to chill in Hel’s domain with your ancestors, Garm the Hellhound is there, and only murderers and oath-breakers go to Niflhel to spend eternity being gnawed upon by dragons and serpents. Average people, flaws and all, get an average afterlife instead of eternal torment for minor transgressions like eating meat on a specific day or the blasphemy of being a woman and wearing pants.

        No, it doesn’t say that. Many Christians just interpret the Bible to mean whatever the fuck they want when they read it. No where does it say that.

        AFAIK, there’s not direct mention of what happens to animals when they die, but many modern interpretations say that if Heaven is a paradise for humans, and if animal companionship makes humans happy, then there will be animals in Heaven.

        Then again there are sects that believe that basically everyone in Heaven is brainwashed to be happy all the time just to be in God’s presence, and that the only activity there is round-the-clock praise and singing, so animals don’t really have a place there. Which is two kinds of shitty: what kind of “paradise” is no pets AND endless church?

          Legit some Christians think Heaven will be Heaven because they will be enjoying watching the eternal torment of the sinners below.
