    They would increase if any afterlife was proven. Even terrible ones ppl will convince themselves are actually good.

      “Whoa, they have grilling???”

      “Yes, they grill your soul over a pit of pulsing, miasmic ichor. It slowly strips you of even the concept of sanity through sheer agony.”

      “I can only imagine the BTUs in grilling heaven, wow!”

        The grill is heated by GPUs. Proper soul cooking requires a short bit of searing and then each side gets a good, long cook.

        You know they did a good job when the heat sink fins leave those nice, crisp brown lines.

        All to keep the data centers that render reality humming along!

      Hard disagree, the idea of soending eternity in close confinement with “the creator” seems like it would quickly lead to theocide.

        Probably caused at least in part by the constant shitty behavior of people who are loudly convinced that they are going to heaven, who then turn around and tell everyone else that they are going to hell.

          Yeah, a lot of satanic folk, or just those that like the aesthetic, dont actually believe in a hell or satan. Its often a middle finger to the religious that want to control their lives.

          My wife grew up in a Jewish household that celebrates Christmas. They never took any religion seriously. She giggles when she has to go to a catholic mass for a wedding or something. She didn’t grow up with it and its as silly to her as Satan worship or witchcraft is to other people.

          What you consider normal is mostly a function of exposure.
