How to Go to Hell in Every Religion (Detailed Instructions)

Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism all have their own versions of hell. Here’s how you can go to hell in all of them.
Dr. Bart Ehrman, Dr. Natasha Mikles, Filip Holm, and Dr. Justin Sledge, all scholars and educators in the field of religious studies, joined me to help me find out how many hells I’m going to. Follow their instructions and you’ll be going to hell in every religion.

[@r7ahtesham885]

@@DeadAccount53885 As I said, if none is real it still won't affect us. If one is real however, true justice will be delivered to believers and non-believers alike. But if you mean in a metaphysical or a philosophical way, you'd be the last one people should listen to. Atheism is the lack of belief of god or some kind of power, so you have no footing to debate such thing and should only rely on science... but religious people.. need science.. Matter of fact, they created it. Science's foothold is religious people. The only atheist that had a large place in science was Charles Darwin, but he still considered himself as a "theist". Only modern day scientists are good scientists with a lack of belief but even then their philosophy on god is trash

[@DeadAccount53885]

@@r7ahtesham885 I have footing. I didnt want to say this because i found it unnecessary to offend anyone, but, every religion is just a massive lie. I DO have footing. Its pure logic. Religion is basically this: There might be a god, and people say there is, but there is no way to disprove it (as it doesnt exist) but there is also no way to prove it (becuase it still doesnt exist). So people just keep saying stuff like that they believe there is one and there is no way to disprove it. Most religions absolutely hated science as it went against their beliefs (lies), such as street lighting would make god angry because we would break the day-night cycle, or when they wanted to kill some guy (i forgot his name) for saying that the earth isnt in the center of the solar system and that it spins and moves. I should be the first one people should listen to, because EVERY religion is obsolete and has ZERO place in a modern society. There are also massive logic holes, such as why do churches need money? Couldnt god just materialize some for them? Or why arent divine interventions happening? Because no one would believe they happened anymore. The bible was written when people were stupid, so everyone believed that an omnipotent beinig exists, and it got deep rooted in society. The same thing happened to every other religion. Some story that would be plausible at the time, but obviously not true by today's standards. Religions are full of logic holes and only people who dont think about them are religious.There, you wanted this, now you got it. I offended like half of the people watching this video to prove my point. God doesnt exist, and no amount of getting offended over will change that. Your entire arguement is "some book says a thing".

[@r7ahtesham885]

@@DeadAccount53885 I'm gonna be short because it's bed time, but all I'm gonna say is that if you want to judge religion as a concept that's fine, but every religion has huge amount of differences, some of them don't even believe in the concept of God. Which is why jumping into the conclusion of "there is no god" itself is illogical, not just the differences but also how not believing in God is illogical too. I'll tell you later but the one I kind of have an issue about is "Your entire argument is this book said so" Which is stupid because that's literally every ideology or science ever. How did rockets go into space "this article said it did and how it did it". See how twisted this kind of argument is? Idk about others, but if you want to tackle religion, you have to know why. Why is Hinduism for example stupid? You can't tell unless you go deep into it, you probably did about... I suppose Christianity.. There are problems in the bible sure but the bible also got so many things right, my religion tells me that it's because the Bible was indeed given to them by god but it got corrupted.. BTW, you said that "I probably offended half the people reading this" maybe but I wasn't.. I actually appreciate your honesty, because the problem with people is that they lack honesty and lets their emotions do the thinking.. My religion tells me that there are signs given to everyone that he indeed exists, and that he gave us the mind, the eyes and the ears to peice it together yet some don't.. Because "it's not the eyes that are blind but the heart". My religion literally depends on logic, of course it's been under debate because we claim that there's no contradictions nor loophole, so I engaged with some of them and it's just verses taken out of context and genuine lies. I also appreciate your willingness of not offending people, but that's not the right attitude, you should stick to your truth while being respectful. I'll probably respond with some more after like.. 12 hours but till then I am looking forward to your response, take care 👍

The hindu version seems very off though. Hinduism doesn't really have a hell or heaven. The idea is to escape the cycle of rebirth because this life is already hell, so that your soul can join the big soul. That being said, it's a religion which does not have one single text as a source and there are many narratives based on who you ask. But broadly speaking, heaven and hell aren't really a thing in religion, it's a western religion thing.

[@mahogara]

@@samg.5165 It's not an eternal damnation; you will be free once you've paid for your bad deeds. Still it's scary for children to hear "don't do that, you'll go to hell" when just explaining bad actions may lead to bad consequences would do the trick. It's not as bad as what I have heard from a lot of people growing up with Abrahamic religions. Although eastern religions have somewhat better rep, I believe the concept of using fear to control people exist in every religions. I know a lot of Buddhists doing good things - charities, donations - because they want the rewards of good deeds, good karma ( which will cancel out bad karma that may get them to hell then be reborn as lesser beings ) , not because they genuinely are good people.

[@samg.5165]

​@@mahogara Billions, trillions and quadrillions of years are essentially the same as eternity, at least the way I see it. Most people break from isolation alone (no physical torture needed) in a matter of days or weeks. When life in the shortest Nakara lasts for millions of years at the very least, being reborn as a worm or a plant seems rather tame in comparison. Then again, perhaps this aspect of Buddhism isn't emphasized as much as hell is in Christianity and Islam. But like you say, reward and punishment is a concept universal to all religions.

From what I can tell, your soul isn't just you but immortal; it's an incomprehensibly vast entity of which your consciousness is but a fraction of, and that a lot of what you think is you is just the organic, temporary part of your mind that is fallable and mortal, and that is broken away from when you die. The closest I can reconcile a concept like purgatory or hell, is that it's a state of being that helps souls that are clinging to their mortality to reconcile with the end of their mortal existence - a psychologically painful process - and move on as something greater. The fact that you find the concept of eternity as terrorizing is a sign of wisdom, because you can tell that the human consciousness as it is isn't supposed to be immortal.

In Buddhism, the concept of hells and heavenly realms diverges significantly from many traditional religious interpretations. These realms are not physical places, like an underground dungeon for wrongdoers or cloud-filled paradises for the righteous. Instead, they symbolize different states of mind and existence that we might experience in our current life based on our actions and intentions. Rather than a divine being meting out punishments or rewards, one's experiences in these realms are shaped by karma-the natural consequences of one's thoughts, words, and deeds. This is illustrated by the beings close to the hub on the Buddhist Wheel of Life. Thus, in a Buddhist context, one can be in a "hell" or "heaven" at any moment, depending on one's mindset and the repercussions of one's actions. Nirvana, the ultimate goal in Buddhism, transcends these dualistic realms, representing a state of liberation and enlightenment beyond conventional experiences of suffering or pleasure. It's important to note that while the foundational teachings of Buddhism describe certain realms of existence, many of the detailed descriptions of hells and other realms have been influenced and expanded upon by various cultures that adopted Buddhism. As the teachings traveled and evolved, unique cultural interpretations and narratives emerged, adding layers to the original concepts.

[@MrCmon113]

That's completely false. In Buddhism many different places/worlds actually exist out there somewhere. Just like you can be reborn as a different animal, you can be reborn in one of the hell realms or pleasure realms. If you were right, the pleasure realms would be equivalent to nirvana, but they are not. Those realms are physical places, not states of mind.

The heat will burn you to a crisp, then you will be formed again and the process will repeat for eternity. All very graphic images for children to think about. Especially me since I had a really creative and overactive imagination. So yeah, when you hear that coming from the mouths of the adults that are supposed to keep you safe, let's just say baby me was scarred, cried, became nauseous, and as young as I was, only thought those dark thoughts for MONTHS. Literally MONTHS. That was something children should NOT need to hear. Even if it's in religion. you're definitely right.

@@somedude9383 The sad thing is, it's not hard in theory. But it requires both groups to have a basic understanding of what's considered disrespectful. Like, for example, to have a discussion (not a debate, a discussion) between two religions both have to accept that they can not and should not try to talk the other into their religion, unless it's the whole topic they also shouldn't unprompted tell the other they'd go to hell in their religion. (this can also be applied to atheist in that they shouldn't be talking people out of their religion during a discussion like this or telling them thier so heaven and they've just wasted their life) In theory that is the easiest thing to understand ever. It's basic respect. However lots of people believe they've failed their religion if they don't try to convince the other person, so they then offend the other person and start an argument. I wish everyone could just not do that. It'd be so much easier.

[@AbdRubbuh]

​​​@@babycakelingscouldn't have said it better myself. Every time I scroll down a thread of religious discourse it instantly divulges into mockery. I can't help but feel a considerable amount of conversion attempts are rooted in hostility and insincerity. I imagine it goes for all religions instead of it being restricted to one but I remember when asking and inquiring Christians about their beliefs as I was interested (I was an athiest at the time and was interested in monotheism), a majority of the responses would include ignoring, answering their own questions or blatantly insulting. Never would I have been given a satisfactory answer. At best I could hope for was a "have faith". About a year later I converted to another religion and since when a conversation would arise where I would have my made my religion known only then had people try to deter me from it and engage in conversation. This isn't to target Christians specifically despite my disproportionately categorising experience but to serve my experience as a reminder on how not to conduct ourselves. We represent our beliefs. Lets represent them sincerely.

[@babycakelings]

@@AbdRubbuh to be honest it’s not that it’s a Christian issue, it’s a privilege issue. Christians are just often very privileged. People who come from a country or culture where they are minority I’ve found are generally way better at polite debating and are willing to talk over religion without forcing it on you. Which is a big part of why I think Jews are so polite (ignoring how their religion is literally structured to not be invasive of other people that is, obviously there’s many reasons their so great in that regard, but I do think being a minority is part of that). People who are used to being the majority on the other hand are forceful about it and don’t consider themselves rude when they disrespect others because that’s normal to them. Muslim people from countries where that’s the norm are often just as bad as Christians, we just don’t run into them as often because we (making an assumption about you here, apologies) are English speakers. But also Christians are particularly bad because they have a culture centered around how their the victim even in countries where they are the majority while also they view themselves as better then everyone else. They discourage questioning and ultimately try to kick out anyone who tries to do things differently. No individual Christian should ultimately be blamed for that of course, there are so many lovely Christians I’ve met too. But the fact that culture is there is an issue in itself. I think it’s just about finding a way to change that culture without devaluing the actual religious beliefs, that’s just hard to do when the people themselves don’t want any change.

Being raised Catholic giving up on the notion of eternal torment in hell was the hardest thing I had to come to terms with. I give Jews a lot of credit for not having a notion of hell as a way to maintain control. This was a fun trek through the various notions of hell, a great Christmas present.

[@Noob-gb6bn]

Hell fire and heat is overrated, would be too effective for me I'd die in hell itself, petitions for hell to be cold or cozy

[@jogighopa]

also, one thing that I wanted to comment as a person raised Catholic is that knowing catholicism and rejecting it as a religion is a quickest way to hell (it's a dogma); so according to Catholicism if you are atheist, Baptist or Jewish that never knew catholicism, you may go to heaven; if you are catholic and covert out of it to judaism or go atheist (not sure about other types of christianity, but I think it may apply as well), then BURN IN HELL; If I am honest though, I was never taught about this eternal torment thing as a catholic; I was told that we don't know - hell may be torture, but it also may be eternity in absence of god (I am born and raised in Poland if that makes any difference); I feel now that I have been given some progressive version of christianity, wthout scaremongering; for me leaving religion was difficult, because I felt like I was part of something bigger before and then I wasn't and it was difficult to reconcile; but I see how many protestants represent catholicism and it's very different from the church I know; it sometimes puts me in uncomfortable position of wanting to defend something I don't believe in;

"depends on who you ask" I think is the best, and most overlooked, answer to just about any religious question. People tend to make sweeping generalizations of "oh Christians believe this, Muslims believe this, Buddhists believe this" but religion is a lot more complicated than that. Within religions you can have anywhere from dozens to thousands of sects, all with varying beliefs on different issues. But even then, that also misrepresents. The official standpoint of, say for example, the Roman Catholic church, does not necessarily apply to all people who identify as Roman-Catholics, everyone has their own unique views. Now obviously, you can only cover so much in a limited amount of time, which is why people devote their lives to studying religious topics, but you do have to be careful not to generalize to the point where you are lumping hundreds of millions or even billions of people into the same category. That only leads to further division and misunderstanding.

[@GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic]

👏👏 Very true

[@baconjedi1489]

One slight correction, really not very important, is that when you speak about not worshipping the Muslim God only the Christian God, they are both the same. The same God who is worshipped by all Abrahamic religions. Now in terms of the point, it doesn't make a difference as that would still be considered turning away from God, which as was discussed is one of the ways you can go to hell according to many Muslims.

[@korpen2858]

I have a bit of a problem with people saying "Buddhists believe this" as it would be similar to saying "Abrahamists believe this" without specifying which branch you're talking about, is it christian, muslim or judaism?

[@captaincatchy]

So true. I don't know nearly as much about other religions, but the word "Christianity" encompasses almost any belief you can think of. Perhaps not so surprising when the Bible is so full of ambiguities and contradictions. Even the idea common among non-believers that "Jesus was a good man who preached peace and love" is debatable.

[@baconjedi1489]

@@captaincatchy I would assume that ambiguity is common among many religions, partly as a result of them spreading. Most religions that spread far beyond their origin are able to do so by adapting to the people they are trying to convert. As for the Christian bible, an important thing to remember is that it wasn’t all written by the same person or even at the same time, as many other religious texts are from my understanding. A lot of it comes from oral tradition that was passed down for generations and generations before ever being written down, and as such not all the details remain constant. Translation also becomes a problem with every religious text, as multiple layers of translation can warp meanings.

Really interesting video!!! As for the idea of why hell comes about from sources outside the direct cannon of most religious scriptures ( 24:00 min in the video), the professor from Texas State is asking a great question! As far as I can tell, the promotion of a hell full of suffering and torture rises out of the later foundational steps of a religion's inauguration, because the ruling powers of a given age wanted to show the people the eternal cost of not signing up to the "new revelations'" of the church. Additionally, it must be remembered that state and religion were essentially joined at the hip for much of human history (the last 6000 or so years), and religion was used by the rulers of history to bind population groups together. Look at Constantine, a proud ruler from the Flavian dynasty, Bulan Sabriel, the Khazar ruler who one day just decided that his people were all Jewish and descendants of Abraham, or the Arabian tribal leaders who used Islam to consolidate the bedouin tribes in the 10th century. Similarly, the political use of Hinduism, as it became Buddhism and spread across the rest of Asia, was the inspiration for all the different buddhist hells. Are you a tribal leader or monarchical emperor who needs to curtail the rise of the lower classes and make political dissent morally reprehensible? Why not take over a budding religious movement and make your population fear for their eternal well being if they don't conform to your new statutes, revelations, and dogmas?!? History shows time and again that this works, at least for a few years, decades, or centuries (depending largely on the populations' unfettered access to information, which was a modern convenience and was not readily available in antiquity), in bringing the population to a 'social order.' You really want to 'go to hell' in the context of THE modern world religion? REALLY??? It's easy. Openly question the legitimacy of government to exist in the first place. Government is a religion. Certain people don't magically get special rights because some people said they could have them. That is false and dogmatic. All people are born with the same rights and no one can really take away the rights of another. We just believe that 'government can do things that no one else has the right to do. It's like believing that no one has the right to break into someone else's house by wriggling down the chimney. Except for this one guy in a red and white suit who has the right to invade your house in that manner. The good news is we don't have to wage a war to defeat a false religion or belief structure or dogma, and no one has to die. We could surely defeat the threat of Santa easily. Simply, no longer give it the power of your belief. Belief fuel perception and influences action often when the individual inside the belief structure is unaware of the influence of the belief. One need not act externally to end the belief in the legitimacy or authority of Santa Clause. Santa goes away when you stop believing in his existence. So, too, functions the belief in the dogma of government. AGAIN!!! Super cool video!! This is one of those, I wish I would have thought of that! Sub, bell, comment, earned and then some!

Re: judaism, at least from the perspective of an insider, hell and the afterlife in general is very rarely talked about. If you ask a well-informed scholar he’ll of course know of the more obscure mysticism, but having gone to hebrew school for many years and practiced my whole life, it was never talked about once. We just don’t focus on the afterlife much. I only learned the term Gehanna from this video, as a matter of fact. There is some obscure lore and mysticism about it but it’s just not a focus the way it is in christianity (and other religions afaik?). So by asking about it directly you might believe it’s a bigger deal than it really is to most of us.

I first learnt, as a university student, about all the different options for afterlife when someone asked me about it. They were Christian, trying to somehow get me to convert.

I remember first hearing about Christian hell and really wondering why it was so bad to have just been human during your life. I don't believe in any afterlife, but I do like to think that people who practiced lovingkindness during life, will get a quick dip in gehenah, and be out in time for shabbat.

The amount of time that we spend in Hell will depend upon which calendar you use. A common calendar has us spending seven months in Heaven and five months in Hell. The seven months of Heaven begins at the spring equinox and the five months of Hell brings us back to the spring equinox. Heaven and Hell is the 12 months of the year. A good description of Hell is found in Revelation 9. The leader of Hell (winter) is the Scorpio constellation which is associated with the scorpion/locust/fly. Scorpio is also the sign of the genitals and “oil.” Dung/feces is also associated with winter as this is the period when dung piles were constructed. The dung would be spread on the fields prior to the planting season. The five months of "Hell" is the period that Osiris spent sailing the celestial seas in his casket. These five months is also the 150 days the waters prevail in the Noah myth. This same five months is the five sons of Shem (Greek Hades/Latin Pluto/Hindu Magog).

"Depending on who you ask" is entirely accurate. Back in the old days of Catholic school I was told that not believing and not being baptised would not send you to hell, because even if you sinned, it was because you didn't know better, and would be sent to limbo. If you believed and were baptised, dying with mild sins would send you to purgatory, kinda like a hell lite, and where you could purge your soul and get in heaven eventually. If you died with mortal sins, you went to hell, unless you repented on your death bed and were administered the last rites.

Maybe adultery only gets me in to 50% of hells but murder is 80% and murder + a hamburger is 92%.

Being a Buddhist from India, i dont think i was ever told abt heaven or hell or whether it even matters. No such thing.. i was pretty much told karma matters, both in thoughts and action. The only other thing i was taught was that it is important to practice Sadhana.. to meditate.. by that I don't mean introspection or self analysis etc.. what i mean is to have a breath practice to get the body and breath in sync.. to try for a meditative state. The goal eventual is to attain Nirvana.. heaven, hell, actions thoughts are all distractions on the path🙏🤷 happy new yr folks!

It actually depends on the religion. They sorta skim over this a bit in the video (unfortunately), but typically in both Hinduism and Buddhism, for example, simply not believing will not by itself result in you going to hell. They believe that everybody's fate after death is determined solely by their actions in life (regardless of why they did them), so if you do things to accumulate enough bad karma, you will end up in hell, but if you live your life in a good way in which you do not do those things, even if you have never even heard of that religion, or actively disbelieve it, you still won't go to hell, because your _actions_ didn't actually warrant it.

If you believe there is not such a thing as an irredeemable evil person, then no person has been sent to Tartarus permanently.

Dr Sledge's description of the "roaming ghosts" who are rejected by both heaven and hell brings to my mind the origin of Halloween's Jack O'Lantern: 'People have been making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form. 'Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul. The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree’s bark so that the Devil could not come down until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years. 'Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.” 'In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jack’s lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits. In England, large beets are used. Immigrants from these countries brought the jack-o’-lantern tradition with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack-o’-lanterns.' -- www.history.com/news/history-of-the-jack-o-lantern-irish-origins

So I grew up in an extremely religious household. The fear of going to hell was very real to me for a long time. Over the years I started questioning things and noticed many inconsistencies with not just the Bible, but also with the people who claimed to believe in the Bible. I realize that some people need something to believe in because most of it comes from a fear of the unknown. My mother wholeheartedly believes in God and the words of the Bible. I, unfortunately, do not. I've realized that I'm much too skeptical to believe ANYTHING on faith, and because of that, I kind of envy people who can believe things like that. Life is a lot simpler when you think you know what happens after you die and I'm happy it brings my mother peace.
