I'm reminded of a movie (can't recall which one) where a dance was taking place at a Catholic High School. Before the dance began one of the priests went to the microphone and warned the students about what awaited them if they engaged in any immoral activities. He went into great, gory detail explaining how you would be sent to hell where demons would eat your flesh and your eyeballs would be melted in their sockets by the intense heat. Of course, he wanted to prevent the kids from engaging in sex or drinking alcohol and this was his way of trying to control them.
And you can't see a reason why people (i.e., the authorities) invented the concept of hell?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
