Go to Hell: A Deconstruction Episode
Hell is one of the most weaponized aspects of mainstream Christianity.
However, the concept of an eternal torment is no where to be found in scripture, and even “hell” itself has been a tragic mistranslation. A mistranslation takes away the nuance of what could occur once we die.
In this episode, we discuss what early Christians believed about the afterlife, the concept of salvation, and how many early church fathers, and even modern theologians, believed in a universal reconciliation, not a fiery permanent torture.
The conversation also reframes the theory of Christ's death and even sin as a spiritual blockage - not a cosmic naughty or nice list.
