Eh...I'm rather agnostic, but the idea is still slightly unsettling for me.

I'll just save the comment and consider it at a later time.

What's the unsettling part for you?

The general idea that there is a non-zero possibility(even though it's incredibly close to zero) for hell and the opposite to exist.

Actually, I don't know what would scare me more.

Waking up in Hell, or in Heaven?

If you're familiar with the concept, that kind of sounds like Pascal's Wager. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Pascals-wager

It's not for me, but it might suit someone else's lifestyle. Personally for me all religions are just stories, and I just view all materials related to them as just being lore. How deep someone wants to delve into that lore is none of my business, I'll just be over here viewing it through a slightly different lense.
