One of the things I do like bringing up is that people are wrong when they say Buddhism has no concept of "hell", there very much is such a thing, it's just not eternal

But the difference between truly eternal and just a very very long time is academic to us mortals But it is said that the most vicious and corrupt souls descend to a level of existence of unimaginable suffering and loss and are trapped there for literal quadrillions of years

Buddhism does teach that even someone like Hitler will, eventually, be "redeemed" in the sense that, as Chidi says, the wave breaks and the water changes shape and he's not Hitler anymore

But they feel free to imagine that for someone like Hitler, this purge can't happen until he's been imprisoned for longer than the age of the universe, and the process of having to change enough to no longer bear that karma feels like being burned alive

I actually thought up a story that involved the afterlife being an increadibly long staircase that you climb, and the main character meets a "helper" that assists other people climb the stairs and the twist was the helper was Hitler, forced to do this as penance.

I've read an even edgier story trying to make a point about alternate realities about an alternate version of Hitler where he's a great humanitarian and Righteous Among the Nation's

Kurt Vonnegut had that book where Hitler just straight up went to Heaven and was like "eh my bad"

The Onion did that troll article "Osama bin Laden's only real complaint about Heaven having to share it with all these Jews"
