Now I see why people avoid religion like "fire", because you gotta to embrace desperation to endure this form of voluntary "service"/self-punishment.
Some religions invented hell.
They invented a physical hell in order to put fear in people mind so the people would follow these corrupted and evil priests.
You do not have to worry however.
There is no such a thing as a permanent and physical hell except in the mind of these sick priests.
