Mmmm... interesting. 😆 There should be some kind a pre confession, pay earlier for your later sins. Like if... mmm... lets see I can commit two more sins before I need to confess again.
Interesting about what hell is.....Though time is moving and running out/forward, always moving....Doesn't stop..Time does you know......Where will you be when you decide hell is not where you want to be?.............Not meaning an evil place, but not one you would prefer?........( A different place then were you are now)
People need to think about where their life would end up.

Interesting, because if you think a little... you will see that everyone atheist or not, worry about living a good life in one way or another. Even atheist people try to be good persons, they don´t go out shooting everyone for no reason, or doing whatever they want without care for nothing, but a true atheist shouldn´t care for showing any kind of "virtue" as there is nothing to gain from it. There is no sense in worrying about virtues if you believe that everything will end when you die.

Thats where humanity starts playing a role, religion started giving us morales and values rules to live by. Those rules are put into laws, and far more important into society. Most people don't comit crimes because of social pressure, the pressure of the church and the fear of hell are far less important these days then the fear of being an outcast and being without love.
What is hell mmm... The hells in Hinduism are the talas, or "inferior worlds". To each one of these worlds corresponds one lower chakra( these are not the conventional chakras). These worlds are places in the Kamaloka(analogous to the astral plane). The talas, or hells are :
Between quotes are the translations of the name of the hell, and its correspondent chakra.
1) Put "childless" : atala chakra "wheel of the bottomless region". Fear and lust (located in the hips).
2) Avichi "joyless" : vitala chakra: "wheel of negative region". Center of anger (thighs).
3) Samhata "abandoned" : sutala chakra: "Great depth". Region of jealousy (knees).
4) Tamisra : "darkness" : talatala chakra: "wheel of the lower region". Realm of confused thinking (calves).
5) Rijisha : "expelled" : rasatala chakra: "wheel of subterranean region". Selfishness (ankles).
6) Kudmala : "leprous" : mahatala chakra: "wheel of the great lower region". Region of consciencelessness (feet). The intensity of "hell" begins at this deep level.
7) Kakola : "black poison" : patala chakra, "wheel of the fallen or sinful level". Region of malice (soles of the feet).
Could I assume this is similar to the Tree of Life, associating parts of the body to emotions and such? No maybe not cause the Tree of Life really doesn't have to do with body parts in that way. Just emotions.
Like your example: Rijisha : "expelled" : rasatala chakra: "wheel of subterranean region". Selfishness (ankles).
Because some believe for instance that if you are having problems with your ankle it has a deeper meaning.....
Hmm like emotions and states of your consciousness or spirit, like your invisible evolution maybe...Well, the Tree of Life is like that anyway. Some people get stuck in one area or are unbalanced in one area, which creates problems in their perceptions of being in Truth would be...
If that makes any sense.....
