The designed and created Universe both heaven and hell

I could ask in a more verbose manner but choose not too, so without further ado, who designed hell?

And when construction was under way why was fung shei not taken into effect?

 

Funny.

But about your question, there is no such place as hell. It is only metaphorical, as is the idea of an eternal afterlife in a placed called heaven where all your family will be waiting for you.

These are just my opinions of course.

 

I always wonder why Satan would eternally punish people for serving him. Surely if you're going to hell then you are on his team?

 

I think the idea is that he gets off on punishing people. I don't think he would care if you're on his team. Theoretically maybe he's so angry and pissed off and tortures people because he's had to live with so many for so long.

 

Isnt hell some kinda ice palace?

 

if my family is waiting for me, it ain't heaven . . .

 

At which point in history was the threat of necrotic torture first imagined?

And if the thought of undead punishment is strictly metaphorical what metaphor does it serve, what is the point?

 

He who does not accept the ways of Jesus Christ (love, unity) shall live in hell (i.e torture of the mind, anxiety about life in general)

Jesus even says at the beginning of the gospel of Thomas "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."

 

there are hells and underworlds and posthumous miseries from many mythologies, some going way back before the new testament

as far as the purpose, it is, as the purpose of all organized religion is, about control

can we get them to behave if we scare them enough?

 

lucifer and the other rebel angels were cast down from heaven to live outside of god's awareness and care

which kinda buggers up whole god-omniscient thing

but then, religion has always been secretly susceptible to a good buggerup

 

Theology is symbols portraying symbols, not symbols portraying reality.

 

And a good buggering if you study the catholic church circa anytime...
