Why do people even believe in hell?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Astral plane is indeed the Afterlife and there may or may not be reincarnation, people assume the worst because we don't know what Astral plane and Purgatory can be interpreted as Hell or middle ground between Judgement day and rapture with Christ comes back

Greeks called Purgatory as Underworld and it can be called Astral plane too, we go there every night when we dream

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Your death is a repayment for your sins and Catholics called it PURGUTORY and it's the middle ground between Heaven and He'll and Pope is the stand in for God until Judgement day, that's how it's supposed to be interpreted because Satan isnr condemned in a lake of fire until Judgement day

People interpreted that and Protestant denominations say you are judged when you die and only the privileged get Resurrected on judgement day
