Sure, but you don't go there as a punishment from god for a lack of belief, you go there because you did shitty things.

Against all odds, the one you were born into. Isn't that convenient?

Nah. Not for me at least. I'm done with religion (just don't tell my mom, she'd be heartbroken) and am glad about it. I'm also a middle-aged man, but still don't want my mom to know haha.

How many would be left if you exclude any religions that don't necessarily demand adherence, or maybe anything?

Heard St. Peter is checking all social media history back five years before they let you into Heaven.

This reminds me of the northern part of the current Prästgatan, "Priests Street", in the Old Town in Stockholm.

Before 1885 that part of Prästgatan was called Helvetesgränd, "Hell's ally", which is an amazing street name in Swedish, and a brilliant metal album name in English.

The entire block was known as Helvetet, "Hell".

This is the location:

This is where the gallows were located.

i love this because 1) it sounds so much more mundane in swedish than it does in english (i can't imagine someone's address being Nr. 666 Hell's Alley), and 2) "helvete" has become such a mild curse that having it associated with gallows gives emotional whiplash

I think Helvetesgränd sounds far more dramatic than "hells alley", mostly due to it containing the letter "r" so you can roll it in your mouth for added effect.

Let's hope that one of the most important rules of both Christianity and Islam is that you shouldn't have another god

Right this does have me curious how many world religions you could juggle. I think you could practice both Christianity and Islam at the same time and still be within the rules.

Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism should be able to fit those rules as well.

It’s literally impossible to know. We don’t have the technology to look this up.

Ok, I did a little digging and it's Jewish. I was confused because the icon looked like a Greek sigma but the Hebrew samekh looks even closer

i'm always astounded that stuff like this isn't considered obviously blasphemous, isn't the religion supposed to be serious and a matter of your fucking soul? why are we using startup names for religious apps?

At least for hindu stuff it might make sense, there's definitely some chill hindu deities that have humor.
