> i'm talking about the word. you're talking about a concept. the word is germanic pagan, and so is the concept. your autistic hatred of christianity has blinded you to its more aryan ideas. do you fear hell? you should > i'd wager you can find the hell-concept in many religions unrelated to aryans too. almost as if its a real thing that has been picked up on by multiple cultures around the world, independantly. why do aztecs have a hell-realm? the new world was untouched by both semitic and aryan influences, save a few viking ships that landed in vinland > the european conception of hell prior to abrahamism does not appear to be centered much on suffering or punishment. it is simply non-heroic and unchanging bullshit. the eddas clearly describe niflhel as a place of karmic punishment, where oathbreakers are thrown into poisoned rivers, adulterers are handed from snake-nooses and traitors are devoured by serpents. this is all pretty analogous to the concept of hell in other religions. there are different levels of hell, and the first few are usually just boring and null, increasing in severity as you go down deeper into the abyss. this is a common theme in all religions regarding the nature of the underworld
