    I can't remember if every major religion has a concept of hell or not. Anyway I think it's silly and was created to try and coerce people into being good and look how that turned out. Bad people don't give a shit about it.

      The concept doesn't really exist in Judaism, it's something Christians came up with and also carried across into Islam IIRC

      There are also a whole bunch of incredibly weird and fucked up hell dimensions across various Buddhist traditions but no one spends an eternity in those, though with Indian religions you deal with ludicrous cosmic timescales so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes

        The christian hell doesn't exist in Judaism, but Sheol (שְׁאוֹל) generally does. There's of course the matter of whether it is only a metaphor for the grave or, in fact, a place of darkness and shades that one drifts into following death.
