Do not teach children about hell as in christian dogma. Or any other dogma that threatens everlasting hellfire and brimstone as punishment for whatever someone else defines as
inappropriate behavior.

Teach them about Hell. Makes it easier to arm them and march them off to war down the line. Because there is no Hell hotter than Hell, and ye who won't toe the line for those in power will surely get nowhere else. :smilenod:

It's a primitive form of [imaginary] carrot-and-stick approach. You offer people some notion of Heaven, which is the bestest place they could imagine, only better-er. But to get there, they have to walk this right here edge of a knife *point* and should they slip at any point... Then bye-bye go genitals. Good luck un-imagining that. :smilenod:

But a stick with no way out is not a good stick, so obviously, there is Divine Forgiveness. Should you, if you pardon a vulgar metaphor (or not...) that fits with the above theme, suck enough Holy Cock, then His Holiness may just deign to grow your imaginary junk back.

The reality, as a movie from a far better cinematic age once put it, is that...

...Knife. Whatever.

Having gotten lost in His own metaphor, The Asmo wanders off, muttering grumpily about them not making movies like they used to.

Hell is an important topic to discuss because its eternal and a truth that many hate the idea of but are drawn to. Hell is real and is justice, the way it works is simple, you want to follow the advice of evil and hate God, then join the rebellious forces in their justice. Love is justice and justice is true love on both sides.

Nah. It's not important - merely interesting. As for it being eternal, how do you propose that it will survive the heat death of the Universe? If it happens to be outside said Universe, how do you propose that it is capable of interacting with it, or be interacted with?

QuoteHell is real and is justice
So Hell is real and it is a concept. That does take away a bit from the whole "eternal" and/or "actual place" narrative. Remember, justice is real in the same sense as virtue is real. It's a fuzzy feeling behind the eyes of the beholder (who can be an individual or a group) - little more.

Or, you can go full Dungeons and Dragons and abandon all that lawful stuff. "Fuck it all and no regrets," as Metallica put it. Point is; even if any of what you propose is true, there may be a third option. And a fourth. Maybe even a fifth.
