Arsoo,
You are probably being influenced by Zoroastrian beliefs, even though you may not have a clue as to what the Zoroastrian religion is.
"Then I saw the souls of those whom serpents sting and ever devour their tongues. And I asked thus: 'What sin was committed by those, whose soul suffers so severe a punishment?' Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said, thus: 'These are the souls of those liars and irreverent [or 'untruthful'] speakers who, in the world, spoke much falsehood and lies and profanity."

Most Christian and Islamic beliefs are based on Zoroastrian beliefs.

I know what you mean but I'm taking about Christian youtube channels and Christian writers who claim they were "bad" or "unsaved" until this experience in hell where they were tortured, they called out for help, and either Jesus, or an angel, or God rescues them. There are many testimonies of these and I want to know why they are so consistent.
