    Im neither a Christian nor a bible expert but i thought satan was just one of 7 deadly sins and not the punisher of bad people? Wasn’t there an entity called “the devil” that is referred to as satan and/or lucifer but is basically an entire different entity to lucifer and satan? Also isn’t hell a general place of suffering/redemption and the deadly sins are just luring people there?

    That’s how i understood it. Didn’t read the bilbe tho, only got this from references and random fun “facts” over the years so it could be completely wrong

      Props on remaining so unaware about Christian theology. For the record Satan/Lucifer is considered to be the devil. There are other demons in some Christian sects that are often gods from other religions like Baal and Beelzebub, but Satan and the devil are synonymous for the majority of Christians
