What does Hell look like? What does Paradise look like?
Hell and Heaven - these words are heard by everyone, regardless of religion. Of course, not everyone believes in their existence, but perhaps vague suspicions have visited everyone, even atheists. After all, not without reason (as many people think) almost in every religion are mentioned identical places!
Paganism is one of the few systems that do not recognize Hell or Paradise. According to his postulates, after death a person is given the semblance of another life, in which there will be both good and bad - just like in the real world.
But all the same we will return to more categorical creeds. In this article, three of them will be considered: Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.
As Hell looks like in Christianity, everyone knows, probably. This religion is very popular not only in life, but also in film projects, literature, painting.
With Paradise, Christians are simple - this is the place where righteous people come, beautiful and divine. There, souls can continue to lead a righteous lifestyle, communicate with angels and indulge in other sinless amusements.
It is pointless to write about Islam in such detail, since Hell looks about the same, with the only difference that sinners greatly increase in size: "... and their teeth are the size of a mountain." This should cause an increase in their anguish.
Buddhist ideas are close enough to pagan. No bearer of this faith will answer unequivocally what Hell looks like. This religion says that there are a lot of parallel worlds - some better, some worse, one of which comes after death. And his soul goes there not by itself, but in a new body.
So, an unrighteous person can not only go to one of the numerous Adas (and there are more than a thousand) but also be born in the body of the animal. Similarly, a cat can become a human after death, and a representative of Homo Sapiens can get to Nirvana (a kind of paradise) or simply get another, better destiny.
Another thing is that all this can be a simple invention. After all, doctors reasonably explain the visions of the dying Ada or Raya with death hallucinations.
