Even the “lake of fire” Jesus talks about is a reference to burn pits outside of town where they got rid of garbage. Almost as if taking everything in the bible literally is the wrong lense.
Exactly. There is no actual “hell” in the bible, it’s a lake of fire, which is not even a lake.
Christians have no clue what their bible actually says.
Spoiler Alert: there is no satan.
Yeah, it’s funny how they take it literally but also infer things that aren’t implied, like that the snake in the garden was satan. It just says a snake in the story… That leap is all theirs.
Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
That’s apocalyptic literature, which people interpret in a variety of ways, but it does mention Satan and describes him as a serpent, so it is not a complete leap.
From what I understand, the early church didn’t teach anything extra extra-biblical about hell. Until the Roman Empire made it the official religion in 380. Coincidence?

You are making the leap that the dehydrated caveman in exile was referring to the snake in the garden during his hallucinations here.
