      It can be frightening to think abt how many people subscribe to a belief system which includes the eternal torture of ppl with diff beliefs.

      But, in reality, most religious ppl do not think it's morally acceptable to round up ppl with different beliefs & brutalise them.

          We see this every time a Christian tries to claim Hitler was an atheist or asks how an 'atheist morality' can say he was wrong.

          The sheer number of times Christians use Hitler as the epitome of evil shows they cannot be morally committed to the Hell idea.

          Some apologists will make arguments about it being humans who send themselves there by not believing the right things.

          Others will say the difference is that Hitler was a human & God is God - the most morally relativist argument I've ever heard.

          But mostly, when Christians think of God, they think goodness & love, rather than eternally torturing ppl who disagree with you.

          This doesn't mean we shouldn't point out that this horrible idea exists & is horrible & that others fully believe in it & justify it.

          Or that fear of Hell & the hatred of people believed to be drawing ppl into it isn't responsible for the murder of apostates & blasphemers

          Or a general distrust of & discrimination against people with different religions or no religion.

          But arguments that religious ppl (I'm talking mostly abt Christians) support the idea or torture for wrongthink,don't really work.

          I don't. I realise beliefs in death for apostasy are horrifically high among Muslims in some places.

          I mean it's state sponsored in some cases with laws that define apostates and atheists as terrorists (Eg. Saudi Arabia)

          I mean cool they had a comic con but they still publicly torture/execute people who dare question the national religion.
