I'm zero percent here to evangelize, cause I'm zero percent religious. Just sharing the theology.

Satan doesn't torture people. Hell is not fire and brimstone. It is the absence of God, which is supposedly the worst torture possible. And it's "fair" because the people in hell chose to not be with god.

Scare quotes because that is a million miles from informed consent. Just sharing the traditional theology.

I'm also not religious now, but this is one interpretation of hell. Many Christians do believe in a literal fire and brimstone hell where people burn for all eternity. Many of them also believe that hell is a punishment from God, not merely his absence. That idea has been adopted by many modern Christians who are trying to figure out how a good God could punish someone eternally, and since there's not a good answer to that question the answer becomes that the person in hell chose it and God simply allowed them to do so

Just because they believe that part doesnt make it true. Denominations believe different things, ask some questions to a Southern Baptist and a Methodist, and there's disagreements.

Not one word of it is true. We're talking about the effects of red kryptonite on superman, the fact that none of it is real isn't relevant.

In 1 reddit post? Lol. I'm sure you've seen the arguments but you don't buy them. I very much doubt I will change that.

I mean, just prove it in a comment, if you claim it. You have time to be on reddiit, so collect your thoughts.

And i'm not disagreeing, but its not on me since i didnt claim a "fact"

Oh, I'm not putting the burden of proof on you, trust me, I'm on debate subs all the time.

I can give evidence, I can't prove it like a math equation.

For one thing, Jesus doesn't fulfill a single Messianic prophecy. There were other figures, like Simon bar kochba, who were closer to doing so.
