= WEAK I could defeat Erman in a debate!
The 4 gospels don’t contradict, they’re 4 viewpoints that coincide with each other!
Virgin birth stories started long before Jesus because Satan was there in Genesis 3:15 when he heard God say to him, “the seed of the woman will crush your head“!
Satan’s trying to stop that from happening
Wanna hang out when we get to hell? (I'll bring fresh baked cookies) lol 😉
@@jjphank Dude, seriously? Even the resurrection narratives are all over the place. Did Mary M. come alone? Who or what did she see? When did it happen? You'd think the Bible-compilers who attempted to standardize the orthodoxy could at least get the most critical and foundational event right.

Fuck casual sinning, we're going ranked boys.
Religion is a scam made by book authors to sell more books,
On top of that it is a pyramid scheme where every member recruits it's own children
As a child I strongly wished to die tragically so I could go straight to heaven and it seems like many others thought the same thing. Is really hard to avoid hell as an adult lmao
I was the same
I had the concept of becoming a “free bird” in heaven if you die as a kid shoved in my face so much, I desired it too because I thought “maybe I'll get to die before my doubts solidify into something scary” lmao (muslim btw)
omg yes me too. just imagine a 10 y.o something kid wanting to die to enter heaven.
The concept of having to die for your religion to have the best heaven as a martyr is so fucked up
same I remember wanting the rapture to happen or to die when I was little because I wanted to go to heaven and I was scared that when Im older I would go to hell because I wasnt pure anymore.
I have been told to "go to hell" several times but this is the first time I've been given actual specific directions.
Very, very funny!
@@carlosserrano3823 Yeah it's actually funny, I don't know what's the problem?

@@MaryAnnNytowl The realization of a better joke is a funnier premise than someone else noticing I edited it later and mentioning it in a reply.
If evil demons torture you in hell for your sins, don’t those demons work for God?
Yeah that doesn't really make alot of sense
yeah either god is allowing them to do this (in which case he is not benevolent) or he is unable to stop them from doing this (in which case he is not all powerful) the Christian, Judaic, and Islamic God are supposed to be omnibenevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent (all good, all knowing, and all powerful) so this is a contradiction.
@@electricfishfan Yeah, the reason is that he gave us the free will to be evil and we would have gone to heaven, we’re just not at the front of the list
i think that the idea is that demons love torturing people so they don't work for God per say, they just get the opportunity to do what they already loved doing

Hell is often described as being filled with brimstone(sulfur) and sulfur burns with a blue flame, so realistically Hell would have blue flames rather than the red it’s usually depicted with.

GETTING TO HELL IN EVERY RELIGION ANY% SPEEDRUN!
These Hells all have one thing in common: the punishments do not fit the crimes. It's just people trying to imagine the worst punishment they can think of and then deciding that is what hell is like. Hell is a man-made idea; it's not real.
As with all aspects of religion
Even if you're a nazi?
@@theflaggedyoutuberii4311 yes. Because the crimes are not infinite
Tartours in greak mythology does there ironic punishments. Guy who tied escaping death forced to push a rock up a hill that roles down and push it back up because you can't escape death just delay it.
@Talking Joseph So when you kill somebody they're not dead forever?
I am Hindu and in my language from where I'm from I've rarely ever heard people say "go to hell" but rather " you'll face the consequences of your karma (deeds) (karma bhogana)" I think most Hindus in general aren't really concerned with heaven and hell but rather next life lol We all know no one ain't getting moksha XD
Yeah...
It's like we have accepted that our journey is going to be a loooooong one
So we can only try to make it better by doing good karma ☺️
Good luck trying for moksh is one life , whichever it may be
The chances of moksh are scary low 😅
That sounds so much better!
Also the same in Buddhism. The "you'll go to hell" is mostly used only on children.
yeah There's also this theory in Hinduism that talks about how a soul travels from body to body of all species.
The potential prospect of constantly being reborn maybe as a fly in a company that produces flyswatters sounds quite similar to Christian hell to me 😁

@@joshwhite5730 LMAOO facts though
that moment when you activly try to commit every sin in every religion so all the gods start fighting over you to determin who has the right to trow you into their version of hell preventing you from actually being sentenced.
Good point.
Not me planning to create a list before even clicking the video.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, a person himself sways in hell due to his bad deeds.
Anyway main goal of both of them is to attain Nirvana, heaven hell don't matter.
Then you end up in a literal void of nothing like Jack'O Lantern in the original story until they decide a custom hell for you agreed by all the goods.
@@Nowe971 ok that sound bad but there are not much worse places then eternal hell at some point of intensity all pain is basically the same and all versions of hell almost always are forever so i imagine i would go insane and get numb to the pain eventually no matter the version even if custom. there are actually experiments of people being in perfectly white or black rooms with no stimulation like a void and most people cant handle more than 3 days. so probably insanity and then just being unconsiously tortured would be the outcome. there are defenitly ways those gods could force me to stay sane but that probably involves lowering the pain or erasing some part of the pain from my memory to keep me sane but that would defeat the purpose of the torture. there is pobably no way of over-/under-stimulating a human mind/neural network without breaking it pretty fast and any major alteration to my consiousness would probably mean it would not be me anymore. soooo... the concept of hell in general is flawed since it would pretty much break anyone before the infinte torure is done.
As an atheist I can just imagine every religion's demons all struggling to pull me into their own hells like "SHE'S MINE!" "NO SHE'S MINE!"
Nah, void is more welcoming for you and other atheists, while I'm stuck in-between since I'm spiritualist and animist 😶🤣
Bruh, the comments just started the war without me realizing it lmao
They just try to claim your patent copyright lol
hinduism has major atheist philosophies within it like sankhya . Theravada buddhism is atheist. Jain religion is atheist religion too. So being atheist has nothing to do with hell in these religion

There’s something really healing about the way this video is framed, like my whole life there have been people trying to use fear of hell to control my mind and body; just taking the fear out of the conversation is really nice. Rigorous, unserious discussions are kinda healing.
❤❤
You might find the Jewish theological tradition/style particularly healing and fun!
There are soooOooo many conversations about nonsense in the Talmud solely for the sake of reaching further understanding through discussion
Reaching understanding through shameless discussion is, broadly speaking, the Jewish way. That’s why we’re so famous for arguing and disagreeing with each other.
It’s not supposed to be fun and healing, you are supposed to fear hell, the fear of hell is what will turn you into morality and into God
@@ambamsrathegiant7795so god is practically forcing you to believe through fear of eternal damnation? that does not sound very all loving
@@ambamsrathegiant7795nah didn't work. Just makes me wonder about the mental stability of people who believe this shite
@@tobpthat’s literally the truth. hell is death and why tf would you not want ppl to tell you that? bc it hurts ur feelings lmao? it’s not being sugarcoated and ur complaining abt that…
My favorite part about being a Norse Pagan is that there is no belief or threat of eternal damnation. Basically just be a decent person, be a good host, give a gift after receiving one, and take care of others.
Late edit: There is a place called "Nastrond" where the worst of the worst go but not much else is known.
Sounds amazing
Do you guys believe in a god?
@@bazinkaa Why would you even ask that?
@@bazinkaa Thanks for asking! Yes and no. Some do, some dont and its all equally valid as there's no official Bible or rule book. I personally live my life by the Havamal or "The Words of Odin" but I'm agnostic regarding the gods. It's a religion of what's best for you which is why I love it.
@@E.V.-il because I’m curious.
I'd love if you did a follow up on this with some of the more minor religions! I love hearing Ocean Keltoi and others in Neopagan circles discussing what we know about the old faiths' afterlives and how the perception's been warped by pervasive christianity.. and we can rack up even more hell-adjacent afterlives to go to!
I’d love to do this! Ocean is awesome, and I’d really enjoy speaking to Jackson Crawford too
@@GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic It could also be cool to hear the Zoroastrian concept of afterlife and hell, given that it is the primary inspiration for a lot of post exile ideas, and thus Christian and Islamic thoughts on the subject (or so I've been told)
@@GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic hey Drew you should do a video on animism, the foundation of religion. Maybe you can have religion for breakfast on to discuss it
@@GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic and do more research yourself on animism
He's not even done with the "major" religions, you know.
I was pretty much under the impression that going to hell in any religion that HAS a hell to go to, is simply a matter of not believing in their religion. There are other ways as well, but that would be the simplest way I would think.
Extortion. Keeps the coffers full...
It actually depends on the religion. They sorta skim over this a bit in the video (unfortunately), but typically in both Hinduism and Buddhism, for example, simply not believing will not by itself result in you going to hell. They believe that everybody's fate after death is determined solely by their actions in life (regardless of why they did them), so if you do things to accumulate enough bad karma, you will end up in hell, but if you live your life in a good way in which you do not do those things, even if you have never even heard of that religion, or actively disbelieve it, you still won't go to hell, because your _actions_ didn't actually warrant it.
Yeah, there are Presbyterian denominations, for example, that only care about what you do, and less about what you believe
for most religions, it's not about whether you're a good person, but whether you're gullible enough.
I mean, Tartarus is often seen as the Greek Hell, and it isn't some place you go just for not believing.
If you were an evil person in life you are sent to Tartarus. According to Plato, if you are so innately evil that you are "incurable" then you are permanently sent to Tartarus, otherwise, if you have done evil but are redeemable, you can get out once a year when you finally show true remorse and guilt.
If you believe there is not such a thing as an irredeemable evil person, then no person has been sent to Tartarus permanently.
You have to feel sorry for anyone who has been told Hell is a real place its a form of mental abuse .
As an hindu i have never really cared as i have been vegetarian.
Apart from that even athiest are welcomed in here worship god or not doesn't matter just make sure to cover ur bad deeds bt doing good deeds to avoid hell which exist on earth u may born poor if u insult one in ur present life time ....
Yes. I agree with the other guy. It doesn't matter. What matters is to be a good person and to be kind to others.
Wow, you have no idea what mental abuse is.
Dr Sledge's description of the "roaming ghosts" who are rejected by both heaven and hell brings to my mind the origin of Halloween's Jack O'Lantern:
'People have been making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.
'Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul. The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree’s bark so that the Devil could not come down until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.
'Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.”
'In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jack’s lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits. In England, large beets are used. Immigrants from these countries brought the jack-o’-lantern tradition with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack-o’-lanterns.'

really interesting thanks
Huh
Never knew that Jack O'Lantern was an Irish thing! 😮
Being a Buddhist from India, i dont think i was ever told abt heaven or hell or whether it even matters. No such thing.. i was pretty much told karma matters, both in thoughts and action. The only other thing i was taught was that it is important to practice Sadhana.. to meditate.. by that I don't mean introspection or self analysis etc.. what i mean is to have a breath practice to get the body and breath in sync.. to try for a meditative state. The goal eventual is to attain Nirvana.. heaven, hell, actions thoughts are all distractions on the path🙏🤷 happy new yr folks!
Respect 👏
Yeah this is what I learned in Zen and Pure Land. Obviously pure land has an emphasis on making it to the pure land if you don't attain Nirvana. But the godly realms and the hell realms are both bad for trying to attain Nirvana, and one shouldn't want to go to either.
Theravada Buddhism clearly states about heavens and hells in its own sense , not in the sense of Christianity , hinduism etc.
Well what you do is pranayam a hindu yoga thing
So you’re only religious bc you were told so
I love how casual this is. It definitely lessened my fear of hell, as a new atheist.

There is a Swedish comedian who said that as a child he realized the best way to stay out of Christian Hell. And that was - sin all your life and do what you want, and when you are close to death - say to god "I'm sorry, I repent".
For Muslims just go to mekka -in Saudi Arabia- do Hajj which basically gets rid of all your sins and maybe die defending your country for bonus points hhhh that's my plan at least
Actually that is what you are supposed to do. Otherwise Jesus's sacrifice would be wasted on you. Jesus's sacrifice is the licence for you to do what you want and then accept Jesus as saviour to get out of hell. Remember redemption is by grace alone, not deeds.
The problem is, you don't always know when you're gonna die.
What if final destination kind of stuff happens and it insta kill you without the time to react to anything let alone thinking about repenting
You could very well do that… assuming you have a true faith and a true repentance which would really suck if your at the end of your life. You would look at your life with basically only regret. And if you got to Heaven it would really suck tbh you’d have to answer for your sins straight to Jesus hm not fun. But you’d make it smh
Reminds me of an Emo Phillips joke. "When I was a kid I used to pray to every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me."
The guys that said “if you’re a Jew it’s easy.. just die” that made me laugh so hard idk why
That’s basically what I tell people when they’re upset that Jews are the “chosen” people… like that isn’t a positive thing 💀

The "role reversal" card is such a stupid argument. Condem the action whether it's the group you're in or not
as a hindu I've been told that both hell and heaven coexist on earth and we all are in it already. some people are blessed so they are living in heaven and some are unfortunate because of poverty, toxic family, illness, depression, etc some people are living in hell. it's not some place outside earth that you travel after death
I’ve always said to myself
“why wait for death to find out if there is a heaven why can’t I make my own heaven on earth what if earth is all we have”
This is correct
This sounds rather calvinist to me. Like, those in power and wealth deserve so by gods own decree and if your life is hell on earth, it's your own sins to blame. Pretty lame attempt of the ruling class to solidify and justify the status quo as god-given.
@@rumpelstilzz you misunderstood bro. it's not all about money but about happiness. read my comment again 50 times and maybe you will understand some of it
Yes, we are already there. Heaven and Hell are not places we go after we die, but places we are at now that are dependent on our actions and how we affect the world.
Its very silly most people think of these as places you go after you die and that someone else is judging us.

Seeing the different versions of hell, I've just realized that hell is depicted as a highly detailed bureaucratic institution in Chinese folk mythology (阴曹地府). There's also an apparent economic system where descendants burn paper money that can be used by their ancestors in hell. This operates in an almost 'Quid Pro Quo' fashion, where the ancestors bless the living with good fortune in return (saying it out loud in English now, it sounds so strange 😂).
Note: I'm not a Religious/Folklore Studies expert, so take this with a grain of salt."
This is both sad and funny. We live in hell. ;D
chinese "hell" doesnt mean the same thing, it's more accurately translated as the "underworld" or "afterlife"
I spoke to a young theology student who was writing an entire book on this subject a few months ago. He was inspired by this video to write a detailed study on how each religion perceives hell and how cardinal sins differ depending on religion. I hope it gets published soon
There's no coincidence that when tribal societies transitioned to city-states with kings who threw lawbreakers into a dungeon, that the god issued laws and suddenly had a hell to get tossed into.
Made up history ☝️
There is pure English verb to transition, to reference to parent, to gift and various other noun- verb monstrosities of that pidgin or dialect of pure English that is American, the tongue of the Kinderlander.
13:01 I never heard about that. The version of Mahabharata that I (and most Hindus) grew up with was that they (the Pandavas) tried to enter Heaven with their body by climbing up the Himalayas, a dog followed them up the snowy hill and after his brothers died, Yudhisthira was told to abandon the dog to go to heaven but he refused. It was revealed that the dog was a God in disguise and Yudhisthira got to go to heaven “saha sharir” (with his body).
Also, caste is Portuguese. Before British invasion and the caste census, that was purely profession based. After they left, it quickly became that way again. Jatis are much like Japanese clans, which weren't always birth based either.
I didn't look up Meenakshi Jain until after watching Ellie Dashwood's YT video “Are Elizabeth and Darcy In The Same Social Class?”
I'd love to see her sources and the actual Sanskrit texts they're derived from. I have a feeling it'll be interesting to read them with Sanskrit scholars. I wonder if they'll also go for “koti” meaning thousand instead of type.
16:20 Brahmins are simply people who CHOSE to live a life pursuing scholarly stuff. Spitting in a Brahmin's food is like tricking a vegetarian/vegan into eating meat.
J. Sai Deepak's work “India that is Bharat” is, as he puts it a glossary for other references. I won't tell you to believe him, cz he's a practicing Hindu and quite proud of it, but I'd implore you to look up other perspectives. Can't say how good it is, cz I haven't read it yet. He says some of the same things that were considered common knowledge in India, though.

I went to a catholic school and once I asked my religion teacher if my mother would go to hell for divorcing or for having me and my siblings out of wedlock (jokingly, I was like 13 years old and thought it was a funny way to tease her).

So many questions haha
That’s terrible! I’m sorry about that. Must’ve been terrifying as a kid. Luckily hell myths have infinite variations and contradictions and look like any other silly idea people invented to scare kids into behaving.

I guarantee that you are not gonna go to hell for your mom's mistake .. it's not your fault anyway
@@Ahmad.Kasebb thanks, I don't think she did anything wrong though 😅 she's a wonderful and loving person. She had kids, what a sin! Lol
@Inspiration-ps4od Divorcing a bad spouse is not a mistake. If my mom hadn't had the good sense to get divorced, she never would've married my dad, and I would not even exist.
She also learned who her real friends were, since her church kicked her out for getting divorced, despite seeing how unhappy she was prior.

The tower of Babel is swarming with loons and transparent liars and conmen eager to sell you same drivel/book to the effect the that death means *Any_thing__But*no_after, because they are reluctant to accept that that-which-is-and-cannot- be-diffeferent, or facts, cannot be different which is to say that they wish that facts were *not* facts, for which phenomenon of the psyche of men(human beings/dreaming machines) has one of its many, words. sand it may help you that what the creatures call ‘politics’ also fits *any* definition of religion; politics and religion being products of one and the same function and you must surely know which of your (how many?) functions is you god, master , or boss and that of *all* similar beings that come off the same production line - and it is bloody screamingly obvious which function that is is it not?

Fear of Hell and hope for Heaven is an extremely effective marketing strategy.
The biblical Heaven consists of the six northern constellations called Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo.
Do you really want to go to Heaven?
The biblical Hell/Sheol consists of the six southern constellations called Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Are you scared of going to this Hell?

One night my wife brought home a stack of brochures from her church. One of them was had to cover that said "Why we believe that Jesus was born of a virgin." I looked through the list and found that they all traced back to one original source. And if you look at that original source it said that the literal translation of the word virgin was like the word maiden. The word maiden can be translated as a virgin or simply a young woman. All of the others basically said well if you look over on page XXX it says that Jesus was born of a young woman but it never said that.
Well. There are different translations and versions of the bible. It could have been referencing one that you didnt have one hand. Although, I dont think there even is one that says "young woman". Isaiah's original prophecy was very clear on the Messiah's virgin birth (ala, syncrtized mithras.)
Alright so that whole scenario where Mary tells the angel that she's never laid with a man and that whole thing with Joseph almost calling off the betrothal because of he thought she had was probably added at some point. Unless it was the early Christians. Or just those who wanted to give Jesus deity status.
@@ivetterodriguez9628 well no, because the virgin birth prophecy was a huge part of the messiah in jewish culture, and still is. So when jesus was born, and started preaching that he was the messiah, everyone just assumed he was born of a virgin due to their culture. As to whether or not jesus himself said he even was the messiah, or if someone lied about him saying that, we cant really know. But there is no historical doubt that jesus, the human man, existed. Yeshua of Nazareth is 100% a real figure, who's words and sermons built the foundation of early christian mysticism, which later got written down and slotted in with pieces of the tanakh during the council at nicaea.
@@twolegmike NO the Old Testament doesn’t say the messiah was NEVER a “”vigin birth”” it says YOUNG WOMEN 😡
@@benclark4823 The word used in Isaiah 7 is *almah* which has two meanings: "young woman of marriable age" and "young woman who has not yet been married". If a young woman has not yet been married, she was assumed to be a virgin. And in the time and culture of Isaiah, *almah* was known to mean virgin. As other documents from that time and region use *almah* to describe what are explicitly virgins. It would only be until later than the use of a difinitive word for virgin, *betulah*, would be used. Everyone in Isaiah's time knew what *almah* meant in context of the prophecy. Virgin births are mythically and theologically very significant, especially to the descendants of the canaan region.

In my understanding of Islam (full disclosure I am Muslim and have read several different English translations, as well as having a little knowledge of Arabic), you are NOT destined for hell for your beliefs. Rejecting God because you don't think it's true is completely different than knowing and believing in God but still rejecting to acknowledge/ worship Him. The latter will get you to hell, but the former will not

Most cultures from east to west believes in some form of underworld reserved for people who do not act their best when they were alive. This is a reminder of a time when fear based cultures were the norm. From a fear based thinking, fear of punishment drives people to behave. It was a way to enforce discipline through fear, to keep people in line and make sure they behave behave. It was from a time when making people fear you was the main way you make people follow you.
Like it's not the norm now.
I mean, fear based culture is still the norm. In the US now it's just fear of climate change, fear of the LGBT community growth, fear of fascism, fear of communism, etcetera. What you're taught depends on what school district you're in. Politicians often use fear to try and win votes. I don't think fear based policies will ever go completely away.
(Not arguing any are legitimate or illegitimate, just stating examples of what some people in the country have been taught to fear based on their education and upbringing.)
Fear still drives people, it's called the law and punishment for breaking it. It's interesting though how the laws we follow are still based upon Christianity here in the West.
It's fascinating reading through the comments.
I'm Jewish, with five children. I don't think I've ever discussed Hell/Gehinnom with them. We have discussed Heaven/Gan Eden with them. When their Grandfather died, we explained that he is happy with G-d in Heaven now.
One reason why the disembodied soul is in torment is this: Souls prefer to be in Heaven, close to G-d. The more elevated a soul is, the closer they become to the ecstasy of G-d. But the only way to elevate a soul is through mitzvot/good deeds. And you can only do that with a body. Souls agree to be born in order to elevate themselves. If a person messes up so completely that both Heaven and Hell rejects them, they don't have the comfort of Heaven or even the purification of Hell. But they don't have a body either. This state of limbo is truly a torment.
All that being said, the concept of a dybbuk isn't really big in Judaism anymore. Like the Doctor explained, Judaism is a very "Here and Now" religion. Dwelling on Hell or disembodied souls is pretty pointless.
EDIT: I was just reading Little Town on The Prairie, and in the book they discuss revival meetings, with the minister ranting about sinners and hellfire. I was trying to explain the concept to my children, and my 7 yr old daughter said "What's Gehinnem?"
I tend to take this more as a euphemism for a desirable or undesirable future. I don't see G-d as having a need for such as we see it, with interpretations suggesting our consciousness may be a sum of parts of many souls. Anyway, time may not be linear with G-d's perspective and elevation is probably only achieved when your living.

I'm not trying to argue, but the Bible says that you are not saved by your works, but your faith in Jesus Christ alone (and some self-proclaimed Christians may not be *actual* Christians because they sin, they don't care, and they know there is God, but don't love him)

There weren't any Neurosurgeons in ancient days. Our memories and personality are stored in the brain. Without a brain you can't process anything.

Hell and Sheol is the same, the Abode of the dead. The Lake of Fire was Egyptian. Hell was a valley in which children were sacrificed.

Hello, Drew! Don"t forget that Dante's Inferno has a number of the damned narrate in detail how they ended up in hell and which hell they were thrown into and what punishment(s) they have to suffer eternally. This reflected papist beliefs abut hell in Dante's time. Many of these stories inspired writers, poets, musicians, painters and draughtsmen -- such as Botticelli, who created an extraordinary set of drawings to illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy.
Botticelli.... I don't know why I thought it was Drurer woodcuts that I thought actual real illustrations of hell as a young catholic .Still haunted by those.

Ah Dantes Inferno, my favorite Bible fan fiction

The "giant gnashing teeth of a monster" imagery for Hell in early Christianity interestingly parallels the divine revelation of Krishna's cosmic form to the prince Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, wherein Krishna's depicted as a being stretching all of space and time with uncountable arms and faces. The warriors from both sides of the battlefield are caught in the faces' gnashing teeth, symbolizing how everyone is fated to die and be reborn, and how to Krishna it's already happened or in another sense is perpetually happening.
I think it would've been better to interview someone like a Buddhist or Hindu teacher, for this videos purpose.
In Buddhism for example the concept of hell is not entirely a place more so a state of mind.
But they also describe specific hell realms, but those are actually more so for people who have actively done damage in their lives to others without any remorse.
So anything like a serial killer, a dictator, anyone in power who knows hes creating a lot of suffering for others yet it doesn't affect him.
In Buddhism we don't focus on these specific realms so people won't be told u do this so you're going to hell, but they might tell u that a certain action u take might get u to a worse reincarnation.
So for example: killing a lot of animals, for your pleasure, killing any human including yourself is considered a bad karma, disrespecting any religions, specifically snakes for some reason are really bad to kill.
Also i would say the bias against woman has been more prevalent in Buddhism in the past, nowadays they're not like that in my opinion, specifically because Buddhism actually had a lot of female Goddesses that represent wisdom and compassion and they are needed to teach others.
Tara is actually one of these goddesses that said fuck this system that thinks only males are good reincarnations, ill show them, and she's always reborn in female form to prove that your gender is not a barrier to getting enlightened. Hope this helped a bit:)
they are stated as astral realms as per hindu/Buddhist believes there are 14 realms 7 higher and 7 lower, it is said "great sages" are able to see these in their trace.
Even we hindus don't go hell but rather we keep on reincarnating until we unite with the almighty. Gautam Budhha was himself a hindu so the ideology is same probably.
Hinduism never sends someone to hell because they doesn't pleased their god! This seems logical.
Very interesting to learn more about Hinduism and Buddhism. In the West there is this common idea that Buddhism is more rational and more peaceable than other religions, or that it's not so much a religion as a philosophy. Clearly it's a label, like most religious labels, that covers a huge range of beliefs.
Buddhism has a good PR department. There is child abuse too, but it isn't that much known like it is about the catholic church. I saw a documentary about that ("Buddhism: The Unspeakable Truth"). Even the Dalai Lama knows about it, but doesn't want to do something about it, because he needs the money the abusers are generating.
@@dancingpeanut3400 the current UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, belongs to a particular sect of Buddhism, and she is generally regarded as far from compassionate (or intelligent, or honest).
The west doesn't understand that the template they have for what they consider to be "religion" is not the same everywhere. "Religion" in the Indic world is very different, and beliefs vary from region to region, community to community, and family to family. And when we're talking about something like Buddhism, a lot of the practices/beliefs in modern day Buddhism are MUCH later additions from lands that are extremely far away from the birth of Buddhism. A lot of these "hells" that are described in Buddhism are later additions by extremely different cultures like the Chinese, the Koreans or the Japanese.
The Buddhism that was brought to the west in the 20th century was this very high level, intellectual form of Buddhism. So that's why this belief that Buddhism is more like philosophy than highly codified belief exists.
The things is peaceful doesn't mean pacifist. In any society there are criminals so hells exist as a mental deterrent for would be criminals.
It does not matter which Hell one goes to, there's nothing to worry because there are no demons in Hell. All the demons are on Earth
Thank you. No one can comprehend if they're in hell or not because memories get deleted from birth on earth.
as if hell would give anyone the privilage to remember their previous lives.
as an atheist, Dante's Inferno from the Divina Commedia sounds like the most fun hell. It matches the sin that sent you there, so it's the extreme version of "What pizza are you?" buzzfeed quizzes.
As a Jew, when I read that book, I turned it into the only book I ever threw in my life. I sent it far, far down a long college hallway, empty at night except for me, walked the length of the hallway, picked that vicious piece of trash up, and threw it back the other way. I cannot imagine coming up with such hateful, hideous stuff. It's not anywhere in the Scripture that Christianity hijacked and pretends to follow. But you certainly may enjoy all that screaming if you wish. You're not bound by our rules. Stay well.

I’ve always loved just how chill Judaism is compared to other religions. Growing up, my parents even taught me that there was no hell, and that basically if I just lived a life trying to be as kind to everyone as possible, and just tried to live as good a life and spread goodness to as many people as possible, I was going to live a good afterlife. Christian friends always looked at me like I was insane when I said there was no hell, and I’m not sure if mine is a recent or common belief now, but it was very interesting to hear about that aspect of Judaism and other religions! Great video!
Yes, this is totally accurate for what Jews believe. Although I will say, that if you are Jewish (through maternal lineage), then the Torah and its laws and are for you. Otherwise, just the 7 Noahide laws, and you're deemed a righteous person. :)
And I think that maybe "compassionate" is probably a more accurate term than "chill". Judaism believes G-d takes things seriously, but He is also extremely understanding and compassionate.
@@annonimiss6422 my family is Jewish through my fathers side, and it was through my grandfather also being Jewish, and then finally that’s where the matrilineal line ended with his mother, but I think compassionate is definitely the right word! I grew up going to a JCC, and everybody was always welcomed there regardless of religion or creed, and I grew up with a lot of other kids from different religions and learnt a lot about my family’s own religion there too! It gave me a lot of perspective on the world outside of the one I lived in with a safe environment and teachers who genuinely cared about all of us together.
I may not be Jewish strictly through a matrilineal line, however I am still incredibly proud of my family, the hardships that they all had to go through and the ways in which Judaism has helped us all get through individual hardships in our lives.

When Drew mentioned Singapore I had to mention Haw Par Villa which I thought was well worth the visit. This villa has a lot of statues and displays with Buddhist scenes and includes a cave with the Buddhist hells that is rather gruesome conceptually - but for anyone who has seen modern horror films it's not going to be a problem, just leave small kids at home. The story behind it is also a fun tale of the Chinese brothers that made Tiger Balm a world wide success.
I second this. Very fun throwback when we were brought there to be showed when we are not filial lol. (Fun because now I see them as stories rather than reality)
If you want to know more about hells and how (not) to go there from a Tibetan Buddhist point of view, I recommend reading the famous work by Patrul Rinpoche "The Words of My Perfect Teacher", the first section of Chapter 3 (detailed description of all the hells in Tibetan Buddhism), and Chapter 4 (what results make you go there and to the other realms).
If you want to visit Hindu hell for a short while ( conducted tour , not permanent residency) , all you need to do is lie once.

I am a Buddhist and have been practicing and studying it for 20+ years, so of course there is always more to learn and I would only claim any small understanding of my own sect, (Nichiren Buddhism, based on the Lotus Sutra) but while there are "hells" like the ones Dr Mikles describes, the function of "hell" is more like a psychological state of suffering. Buddhism talks about the 10 worlds, which include hell, the world of hungry spirits, the world of animals, the world of asuras, the world of humanity, heaven (which are the 6 lower worlds, characterized by being at the whim of your environment) and then learning (the world of voice hearers), realization (the world of cause-awakened ones or pratekyabuuddhas), Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. While Hinduism and provisional Buddhist teachings taught that one is born in to one of those worlds and can only move between them through rebirth, the Lotus Sutra in particular teaches that all of these ten worlds are potential life-states that we cycle through at any given moment, and that each of these life-states contains within it all the other life states. This is called the mutual possession of the 10 worlds.
Hell in particular is suffering. So like a depressed person would be in the life-state of hell. Since everyone contains these lifestates, we all experience hell at various points in our lives. But the point of the concept of the mutual possession of the ten worlds is that you can immediately change which lifestate you are in, you don't have to climb up one by one, you can skip between all of them regularly. Buddhism is a practice through which you train yourself so that your default is regularly in a higher life-condition. So you probably HAVE experienced Buddhist hell, but the whole point of Buddhism (at least the Buddhism I practice) is that no matter what your circumstances you can always transform it, even if it is often a slow-going up-hill battle.
As far as how you go to hell, there aren't really any rules in Buddhism, so you can't break any rules to be sent to hell. But Buddhism teaches about respecting life, so if you are continually disrespectful enough to yourself and others than you will likely find yourself in a miserable state. But idk if its just bc im Buddhist but that just sounds like common sense to me.
One thing that I am very skeptical of is anyone who talks about Buddhism like it is a monolith, because it is vastly different and impossible to gain any mastery or deep understanding of any one sect of it without practicing it for years or decades, just reading the texts from an outside academic perspective without trying to practice it is not at all understanding Buddhism in any of its incredibly diverse forms. For instance, she talks about Buddhism being patriarchal. If Buddhism taught that I was "bad" for being born a woman--that women are inherently lesser than men--I would not practice this religion. In fact, the Lotus Sutra in particular explicitly preaches the enlightenment of women, the first person in the sutra to actually attain enlightenment is an 8 year old Dragon Girl. The purpose of including her is to drive home the point, again and again, that all people can attain enlightenment just as they are, without needing to be reborn. Any of the shallow distinctions we now make between people--like gender, sexuality, race, class--sure, you are born the way you are born in part due to karma, yet this karma is impossible to fathom because it is impossible to remember your past lives. But Buddhism teaches that we can be empowered by our unique circumstances, the ever changing realities of life, and use them as the fuel to create value. Buddhism is absolutely revolutionary in this way.
I am commenting because I almost always feel severely misrepresented by Buddhist "scholars" who make grand claims about this absolutely bonkers and diverse religion, and almost always they are completely inaccurate to my experience of Buddhism.
I feel like I could have listened to each guest talk for an hour. There was so much more about each tradition that I wanted to hear!

As a agnostic lesbian, I MIGHT be safe from hell in Judaism and Buddhism! It's better then I expected, really! (I think Judaism it's almost for sure, because I do believe in God as a concept of some sort of energy, but Buddhism is still to be debated, because I do have an uteruses)
Unless you are commit crimes, you won't probably go to Hindu Hell.
I'm an atheist lesbian, and when I was an agnostic lesbian I went the old school Buddhist way mixed with some of my own culture mixed in. It worked well for me in practice for almost a decade as long as I didn't think too hard about it.
I went atheist and areligious in general when I thought about it too much. Quit spirituality, kept the kindness, charitable works, nonviolence and vegetarianism. No regrets.
Also, even though I'm female, I didn't expect to reach enlightenment in this lifetime, so that was fine by me. I'm far from an ideal soul. I was more offended by the suggestion that life led as a woman could not be the final step in your journey because women themselves are flawed by the nature of their existence, but religion will be religion and if you want equal gender rights in organized religion you're going to be hunting for awhile.
Welp all you gotta do is:
Not to worship idols
Not to curse G-d
Not to murder
Not to commit adultery or incest
Not to steal (and civil laws)
To establish courts of justice
Not to eat flesh from a living animal
@@blackholegaming1354 Don't you also need to believe in God?
@@Nylak-Otter well, not explicitly, you just need to not curse God, and not pray to idols.
I’m sure there would be some interpretation of it that says you need to believe in a “Jewish God“ but by the simple meaning, not really. Agnosticism is also probably relatively safe.
For hindu punishment and hell you can refer to 'garud puran ' it talks about various punishments for various acts.
man, this just made me think, this would be a good concept for a story- someone who becomes unbound from the Great Cycle because every version of a punishment afterlife all hold an equal claim on their soul, and so none can fully claim them
To the best of my knowledge, our current ideas of Hell come from Dante's Inferno. However, a place of where one can possibly go after the brain dies, were invented and discussed by cultures around 300-100 BCE. Considering humanity has been around millions of years, this Hell idea is relatively new...and weird.
With regard to Christianity, the bible doesn't have a lot to say about hell, but the concept is there as an eternal burning (Mark 9:43 for example). People with morbid fascinations added more ideas all through medieval times - the artwork is filled with images - and Dante fed off that for his work. Hinduism is much older than either Judaism or Christianity and so its concepts may go back further, but as was pointed out toward the end of this video, religions do change over time.
@@njhoepner Gehenna was the "Valley of Hinnom" outside Jerusalem, where children were burned in sacrifice to the god Moloch. It's not exactly a place in the afterlife.
@@dustcircle Originally I'm sure that's true...apparently it became a metaphor for a place in the afterlife later on, kind of like Megiddo (site of a battle between Egyptians and Hittites) became Armageddon.
Dante's Inferno is a self-insert fanfiction like 50 Shades Of Grey
my teacher once told me that we should focusing more on the 'going to heaven' part instead. and the hell thing is just supposed to spark fear in us so we feel more 'motivated' to be 'good'.
'Why hate on/fear the system that lock people in prison if you can instead just don't do crime?' kind of situation imo anyway
Sorry for bad english. Love the video tho.
The problem is everything got you into hell although temporarily.
Humans are geared more towards self preservation rather than hope, it just resonates with more people. That's why so many religions focus about the dangers more than anything.
@@luisdonoso6154 While I understand your percpective, at least in the church I go to the main focus is not on fear or hell. Its mainly about bettering yourself while loving and helping others. Hell typicly is not brought up much in favor of talking about how to make a good impact on the world.
However I am very interested to hear your percpective on things as I would like to obtain a large amount of testimony from the greatest amount of people. (If you have the time of course.) Also to be clear we are talking about christianity. Also also if you have any questions for me I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
Oh and finally I hope you have a great day. Theres been a lot of concens in the world relating to politics, religion, covid and so on. I just wanted to let you know that no matter what you are going through or what you belive in you are a very valuable member of society and I hope you have a great day!
But if I need the threat of eternal punishment to be a good person, am I really a good person?
In christianity you could end world hunger, poverty and still go to hell for not being a christian while jeffrey dahmer is in heaven because he had a change of heart before he died
The way she highlighted his face at the end is gold 😂
Edit: I did not comment this on this video but it’s here nonetheless so it’s gonna stay
I’ve just started the video but I’m immediately mad impressed that you have an interview with Dr. Erhman. That’s super cool, really enjoying this so far!
Being born as a female is not considered a bad rebirth compared to being born as a male in Buddhism. According to Buddhist teachings, all sentient beings are subject to the cycle of birth and rebirth.One's gender is just one of many factors that are determined by karma and does not inherently determine one's spiritual potential or status.Well yes while there have been instances of discrimination against women in certain Buddhist traditions and cultures, these attitudes are not reflective of Buddhist teachings themselves. In fact, the Buddha himself taught that women are capable of attaining enlightenment and should be given the same opportunities as men to practice the Dharma.
Exactly. Don't know where they found that lady. All Wikipedia knowledge. Essence of both the religions she talked about were completely off.
There's no hell in either of them.
But he'll was described by certain practicioners at various intervals.
To be frank, there are different sects in buddisim that it's very difficult to pinpoint who's interpretation is right and wrong.
In Islam, it kind of depends on what sin you did in life. For example, the 1st level is not hot, I remember it being described as cold and there is no happines or any positive feeling,and then it just goes worse and worse as the weight of the sin gets worse (adulterers, murderers, tyrants etc). The last, or the 7th level is the worst, it's where the Devil and his followers will go. Kind of like Dante's Inferno.
~44. ‘It (Hell) has seven gates, for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned’”
[al-Hijr 15:32-44]
~3 - And Allah said:
“(Allah) said: The truth is - and the truth I say
85. That I will fill Hell with you [Iblees (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together”
[Saad 38:84, 85]
I wonder if one piece impel down was based on this. it gets hotter and more dangerous the deeper you go. Im not 100% sure but I think that the place was also often (not literally) desribed as hell
@@kingkaizoku85 Impel Down was based on Dante's inferno. So you're not completely incorrect.
can a non muslim enter heaven??
@@genericguy_ yes, they can, all people who have never heard or researched Islam correctly will be judged according to the good and bad deeds they have done throughout their lives.
No. End of story. And that's because there's this verse in the quran 3:85 and a lot of other verses.
The notion that non-muslims can go to heaven comes from certain weak hadiths that only certain scholars believe in, and even among those there are still a lot of technicalities.
I studied Islam in arabic for 12 years of my life, the general understanding is that hell is eternal and non-muslims + bad muslims will go there. This was one of the things that made me leave and I made a really deep research on it.
Thank you so much for the full detailed tutorial.. Very helpful 🙏
I assume you're currently attempting the polytheism section of the run?
I gave up on all religions, so I might get to go on a tour of all of the hells mentioned.😆😆😆😆😆! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!
Sorry. In most of them you actually have to do some very very bad things. In all good conscious I can't really recommend that.
@@metsfan1873 Whew! When I was in religion, I was so stressed. Thought I was going every day. Thanks.
@@robind.phillips2129 Sometimes people have a bad experience with religion, but in reality they had a bad experience with a particular religious group, often just a particular congregation or family members or clergy. It's important in life not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. If your bad experience was with a limited range of religion and religious people, it may be that they are the whole problem and that other religious contexts are not like that at all. It may not be fair to the whole rest of religion, even the rest of whatever specific religion this happened in.
As a Hindu I have always been told that there is no hell.
Same
Is Naraka or Yamaloka not an equivalent to hell? Sorry, I want to be informed and didn't have much touching points with your religion.
@@splittedspark1675 I thought it was more similar to purgatory, not being eternal.
Heck even some Hindu school of thought reject concept of gods let alone hell.
@@dmoll1799 thanks for the explanation
“Yeah, when hell freezes over!” “You mean one of the Buddhist’s hell?” “Wait, what?” 😮
She was so wrong about Hinduism's core ideas that it was infuriating to watch as someone who has studied some Hindu philosophies and schools of thought.
I wonder if there's a vip hell for me when I get to hell in every religion
Bro unlocked a New zone by doing the hardest achievement💀
it's a special section of hell, being primarily reserved for us (the queers)
but yeah, if you get that achievement, i'm glad to welcome you there
it's trully a hell... of a party
As a theist myself, I appreciate that your channel, although it still has some fun at the expense of theism, recognizes that people who practice religion are not inherently out for blood. Many of us, myself included, have been led by false prophets and have had the same epiphany you've had. The only difference is that we still choose to believe in a divine being. I think a lot of skeptic RUclips, which I still very much enjoy, would be wise to follow your example.
In mahabharat (hinduism) actually when yudhishthir goes to hell he was told all fighters at some point of time has to goes to hell before going to heaven. In mahabharat text the idea is you have to be in hell and heaven both after death neverthless.
Have you noticed that a lot of religions seem to want to be as charitable to outsiders as possible as to not appear cruel or unreasonable, but as punishing to insiders as possible as to not allow people to abandon the practice?
Almost sound like abusive relationships.
It probably comes from a more practical place after all you cant follow a religion you didnt know about
@@ananditasaxena1411 Sure I get that...
To me it appears that there is kind of like a process of natural selection for religion. There are certain qualities that make certain religions disappear more quickly than others.
If your religion doesn't have benefits... like eternal life, enlightenment or something like that, then it maybe won't able to grow as fast. But on the flipside if your religion is easy to leave, like if God doesn't punish apostasy with hell or stuff like that, then it might die quickly or lose more members over time than the ones you gain
Very interesting video!
Also, I'm glad to hear someone acknowledge that yes, Buddhism is patriarchal. I feel like most people in the western world have a very weird and idealised vision of Buddhism because they only have the...tourist vision?
I've studied Japanese Buddhism (very specific I know) in college and, to simplify, it's basis is that the goal of life is to attain enlightenment (sorry don't know the proper English term for this), which only men can do. Women can't become bodhisattvas and as such, have to do their best to be reborn as men in their next life. Knowing this, I can't help but be annoyed when people who know nothing of Buddhism praise it for being egalitarian.
I hadn't heard about the specific punishments dedicated to women simply for existing though, that's was interesting!
depends on sect, but there are definitely female Bodhisattvas (i.e. Guanyin/Kanzeon in Japan, one of the manifestations of Avalokitesvara, variously identified as both male and female), and female Buddhas (Nairatmya, Yeshe Tsogyal, Usnisavijaya). there have been bhikkhuni since the beginning, Siddhartha's aunt Mahapajapati Gotami receiving ordination as the first Buddhist nun.
that being said, yes, Buddhism has typically been patriarchal, as most of the cultures it has existed in have been patriarchal. nuns have mostly had to defer to the authority of monks (i can't help but wonder if that wasn't an inclusion by said monks during the period the Dharma was an oral tradition, rather than being original to the Buddha's teachings in life).
A religion being patriarchal doesn't make it necessarily bad , what make it bad are the followers who abide by them in extremity and impose it heavily in the current era(yeah , im talking bout Islam) ..... And there were female monks as well during the period of Gautama Buddha. Read Indian Buddhism , from where it originated. I am not very educated on this topic though I myself am an Indian Buddhist , but I can definitely tell you what you have stated is just a wrong interpretation by author.
@@nondescriptcat5620 I am a Buddhist woman and yes...I wonder that as well. That's why I do not believe in every word I read from religious books and hear from monks. I can't just imagine Gautama Buddha preaching about how women are like this or that, women can't do this or that when he was trying to teach Dhama to as many people as he could. Unfortunately, a lot of men had been thinking women are inferior to them so I guess misogyny just reflects on the historical and cultural aspects of most society's values.
@@pHo_O the way i think about it is perfectly expressed in the Kalama Sutta:
"Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing; nor upon tradition; nor upon rumor; nor upon what is in a scripture; nor upon surmise; nor upon an axiom; nor upon specious reasoning; nor upon a bias towards a notion that has been pondered over; nor upon another's seeming ability; nor upon the consideration, 'The monk is our teacher.' Kalamas, when you yourselves know: 'These things are bad; these things are blamable; these things are censured by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to harm and ill,' abandon them."
whether the Buddha intended for Buddhism to become patriarchal, i know that's bad, it leads to suffering, and those are the parts of the tradition that should be abandoned.
a gay man asked the Dalai Lama if the traditional description of "irregular sex acts" as Unskillful applied to gay sex in general, which is a valid concern with the tradition (just look at how monstrously homophobic fundamentalist Christianity is. i want no part of that in Buddhism). the Dalai Lama responded something along the lines of "That's not for me to decide. Talk to your partner. If it brings you suffering, then stop. If not, then no problem." that, i feel, should be the way to approach most things. is it causing suffering?
@@nondescriptcat5620 you're right, we didn't have the time to learn about a lot of specific sects so I'm far from being an expert, but a female and male Bodhisattva does ring a bell!
Religions naturally evolving with time is fascinating.
