Reply to comment by TheMedianPrinter in [WP] In hell, people can choose what happens to them. They can choose literally ANYTHING. Naturally, many people try to exploit this by going for luxuries and pampering, but the devil ALWAYS has ways to torture those fools... by Crystal1501

It's an interesting take on the afterlife for sure. Depending on how it's structured, it's a similar concept to purgatory, where in this case you have to learn a lesson, or change your literal mindset in order to grow closer to heaven. Such a good story, I'll be thinking about the intricacies of it for a while!

Some have suggested that what we call purgatory is what hell is like but because the church was really into eternal damnation and the whole "you need to obey us to avoid it" they needed to create a third afterlife location to explain text that contradicted that.
