This was me at my step-nephew's funeral after he killed himself.
The whole service they were talking about him being in heaven. According to their own religious text he would go straight to hell. Luckily I was able to keep my mouth shut.
my wife's mom's funeral the priest kept going on about this passage where it described how thick the walls were in heaven. "Imagine Becky looking at those walls!"
ok my dude, you're not really selling this to me
At my grandpa's funeral the bishop talked about how its a real bummer that my grandpa wouldn't be paying tithe anymore.
Heaven is ... material?
Does the Bible actually say this anywhere? I know this is a Catholic interpretation, and probably most other Christian religions.
Hell isn't really in the Bible. Iirc most interpretations of hell come from revelations where the anti-Christ and the beast (along with all the wicked and unsaved) are thrown into the Lake of fire on judgement day by Christ. That's it. There isn't anything about different circles of hell, or eternal damnation (there's a lot of debate about if the Lake of fire is instant annihilation, temporary torment to cleanse the soul, or permanent eternal torment)
Afaik it was largely created through some wild interpretations of the church in order to sell indulgences (get out of sin free cards) which funnily enough is how Gutenberg was allowed to keep printing. His new printing press was amazing at mass producing indulgences which were handwritten and quite lengthy. Now the church had a way to produce their "sin for free" tokens in bulk. If it weren't for that Gutenberg might have been shut down for cutting in on the church's monopoly on books.
Dante's inferno also had a massive influence on the Christian interpretation of hell. Afaik it was also largely made up or "artistic license" was used to make hell into what it is in the book.
Edit: added clarity
