> the threat of eternal fire

Btw., the purificatorium is actually a bath (in Latin) and it's not eternal. Also Jesus isn't talking much about that.

> You have to ignore a lot of stuff in both testaments to get to where you're trying to go.

Yes. But it's still introduction and references for the punchline.

> "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels". -- Matthew 25:41

That's supposed to be a quote from Jesus, personally. In fact he's talking about himself saying that in the future. See that word "everlasting"? Other translations use "eternal".

It's permanent Hell. It's really, really clear. He doesn't have to talk much about it, because he's made the point.

    Yes, I don't disagree with you here.

    In my opinion this doesn't describe anything happening in this world, so it is not relevant, whether to label it NSFW, and it isn't encouraging you to be violent in this world.
