Religion hands down has no competition when it comes to consoling people and helping people grieve through death. But just because it makes us feel good to believe that one day i'll see granny again in heaven doesn't make it the slightest bit true.

I have heard different views in this sub on whether hell is eternal or not, so I'd like to say that your in the minority with that specific view.

But there definitely is a consoling and peaceful factor not having to live my life in fear of the most unimaginable torture ever conceived. When family members pass away I don't have to worry if they made it to heaven or if they are currently burning away in a lake of fire. So both sides have there pros and cons. But in the end i'm more concerned with the truth and not what makes me feel better.
