    No, you don’t get to live forever in hell. Jesus said the only way to live forever is to be forgiven for your sins.

    And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

    And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

    Priests who say that sinners get to live forever in hell are lying. Drag isn’t a christian, but drag knows Jesus didn’t promise eternal life to sinners who don’t repent. There’s no such thing as eternal torture in the Bible. It was made up by lying priests to scare people who weren’t afraid of nonexistence. According to the Bible, what awaits sinners is nonexistence; death. They only changed it to scare people who didn’t mind dying.

        Fiction is still important and getting it right is important. Look what happened when a bunch of gamers misunderstood the Matrix - they suddenly started bragging about taking estrogen pills as a euphemism for misogyny. It’s weird!
