    Having a distinct trinity is one of the rare things that makes sense in mormonism. Also fun fact: they don’t really have a standard hell. Just a tiered heaven system with the lowest basically being earth. Apparently there’s a special place for mega fucked up people, but it’s more like a very elite hell.

      I think we can all agree Hitler goes to hell, but what I never understood is how my friends could go to hell because they swore or disrespected there mother

        Hell in its original form is not eternal torture. That is, for better or for worse, essentially fanfiction. Hell is described as an underworld completely disconnected from God’s light that Lucifer and the third who followed him were banished to. Christians just assume the banished angels will torture you for eternity.

          fanfiction just assume

          Nah, it’s outright planned control from the church. Without hellfire, you can’t scare the kiddos straight. The imagery really sells it. Better take little Stevie weekly to get brainwashed indoctrinated or they’ll turn out to be a godless heathen and burn for eternity.
