Some would protest that hell isn’t really talked about in the Bible. But it sure is on every single page of the Koran.

It’s mentioned quite a few times in psalms and proverbs, and Isaiah. And in Job and 2 Samuel, and deuteronomy.

Also, Jesus described what modern Christian’s consider hell. ‘Cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth’

True, but the main imagery that we as modern westerners have of "hell" is mostly from Dante's Inferno.

/u/Rough_N_Ready does bible.

Heh, you can say so. I actually run a website for cataloging criticisms of the Bible (and book of mormon): https://korihor.info/

Cool stuff!

Thanks for that info! I don’t know the Bible well enough. Is that mostly Old Testament? Obvs. not the Jesus part.

Yes it is all Old Testament.

Ah yes, the Old Testament. The book where if you did one thing God didn't like, you were eternally damned with no redemption.
