I am religious, and for me he’ll is sort of where we already are. Like, heaven is more a concept of achievement, like being healthy and balanced. Hell is the regret for what could have been, and was always open to you.
As far as the political Christianity that has overtaken republican politics, I think most of it is what Jesus was talking about when He said nothing angers God more than claiming you are a follower of Christ for the vanity. They (the Republican party) do not represent the teachings of Christ in any way at all. Not one part of their platform was taught or encouraged by Christ. (Except a very misunderstood adaptation of race politics that ignores Christ’s actual words regarding it).

Hell is something people inflict upon others. It is real.

They didn’t say hell, they said fucking hell.
I’d like to think that means they’ll be getting fucked with rusty wire brushes and similar.

If you had to choose, would you go to fucking hell or celibacy hell?
Rusty wires don’t sound very comfortable, but at least it’s something to pass the time
