Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell?
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoIt’s funny that you bring the evolution/interpretation thing because Hell didn’t even really exist for centuries

Yeah, that’s just one of the ways it has changed over time for some cultures, hehe. There were plenty of millenia before hell was even thought of the first time, we probably will never know what the first written use of it was, let alone the first time it was used in oral storytelling. But with what little evidence we do have from thousands of years ago, we can see that the idea of hell was never consistent since.
