Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

    I feel confident saying I know, as a fact, that the Abrahamic god does not exist.

    There are few horror stories that could match how horrifying it would be if the vengeful bloodthirsty storm god of ancient times really was the creator of the universe.

      I just can't see anything that does. A possibility of eternal torture is pants shittingly horrifying even if the criteria to avoid it is clear cut.

        Some of the rules, while mostly clear, are very petty and arbitrary, like mixing fabrics.

            Yeah if you mix your fibres, you have to wear nylon+polyester blend underwear for eternity. And yeah hell is warm, so that lack of breathability and bacterial growth is gonna suck.

                  The hell that gets me the most is the second worst one. Daijōnetsu Jigoku. Its so bad that you start to feel the pain and burning you're about to feel days before you go. Just think about how nasty that is. You don't believe any of this and you suddenly feel intense pain not knowing whats ahead. Or you do believe in it and you feel intense pain knowing what is about to happen and your fate is sealed.

                  Shit torture already feels like time dilation itself. For instance when one ventures into the drej tank it feels waaaaay longer than it has to agony-wholesome
