Hum.
Something new to me that Buddhists and Hindus believe in hell.
Can you please tell me where you got this information from?  Thanks
There are many shades of Hinduism and Buddhism. I heard about the ones that believe in hell.

Story is pretty, like superman fairy tale is.

How do you come to this interpretation?

Chatted to believers who portray Jesus and other saints as perfect. Their point was that "even if saints like, Jesus, lie to people about armageddon and hell, in order to provoke "good deeds"/sacrifices of wealth for the common good/save soul, then in those believers minds, it was the right thing to do.

Basically, Saints, are like angels, who even lie in order to do more good.
