    That’s the Christian heaven and hell as I understand them too. From when I was being taught from someone who had studied the scripture, as a theologian, in an intense historical and philosophical way said the only canon Christians have on hell is that it is living without god. A lot of the imagery of Christian hell is about as biblically supported as Santa Claus. I could be wrong but that man knew more about Every Abrahamic religion than anyone id ever conversed with, and plenty of non Abrahamic ones too.

      Interesting I actually didn’t know that. One of the unfortunate parts of growing up with a bible thumper Christian step mom is you don’t actually learn the bible, you get told bullshit that isn’t true.

        Hell was straight up stolen from the norse mythology, they kept the name and everything.
