My question is, in traditional religions do they torture the damned souls in Hell?
And if they do so (with pitchforks, spears, ripping with claws etc.) are they doing God's work?
God might be somewhat angry with the sinners who disobey him and might be pleased that the demons treat the damned in the way they do.
The whole concept of demons (including their abilities to "possess" the living or haunt a house) doesn't always make sense to me.
The whole idea and hierarchy of Hell also seems oddly similar to Hades and his domain.
I personally like Hades and Tartarus better because at least people who go there don't do so for disbelieving in Zeus or the Olympians, or for enjoying sex too much.
Thoughts?
According to the biblical fairy tale the God character has a herd of evil angels who do his bidding in screwing over people. Is there really a point in having a herd of demons who do the same thing?
