Origins of hell?
January 28, 2023 at 9:45 pm
Hi all,

  I introduced myself earlier but I just wanted to ask a question about mythology/philosophy. The short version of what happened is that I have cerebral palsy and I realized I was gay at 19. The Catholic teachings haunted me for a long time but it didn’t make sense to me that a supreme being would punish me for doing something consensual with another person. 

I’m trying to leave behind the concept of “hell” and I’m wondering where it came from. I know there’s very little mention of it in the Bible but I want to learn more. Do you guys have any resources?
