you do realize the Bible nor Christ said when you pass you go directly to Heaven/Hell right? Judgment day has a purpose. This is largely influenced by other cultures and texts.Former atheists too …
Also people telling you how hot Hell is from experience …
Y’all keep playing…
I’ll be sipping ice water in the after life
