Hell was never intended to house Humans in the first place. It was for containing the half-angel offspring that was killed in the flood.

@Saorsa if the whole world were, say, a north korean gulag, than sure it would be a hell

It's hilarious how much Dante's Inferno, a divine comedy had influenced people's perception of what a hell would be.

@Saorsa @georgia dante based the inferno off of traditional understandings of hell such as the greek underworld and descriptions from apocryphal gospels, as well as mnemonic structures developed in the medieval era to help people remember the hierarchy of sins and virtues
