I know that, as a child, I heard all sorts of explanations re: why gawd HAD to create Hell. Something about humans being so willful and power hungry and evil, and gawd being so just and pure and perfect that anyone who defies gawd simply had to be cast away and thrown into the fire. I think I remember being told, when I was a little older, that gawd WAS life and light and love, so being separated from gawd FEELS like eternal torture to an immortal soul, and that we choose that separation during our one lifetime. I believed it, of course. Now I can't even recall an explanation that isn't just batshit insane. None of them make any sense, other than what is certainly true: "EVIL EVIL men made up this sick story to keep the sheeple obeying them and giving them money".
