Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Twitter) with:

Is Christianity the only religion where The dead are tortured and punished forever? Most religions it's more like a purgatory or some whole other realm

Hades - as per Odyssey - is a cold and barren place, no place for anyone to want to go to. So, while, tortured, no, it's no fun.

But EVERY religion, devised as system of ethics where morals don't work, needs to threaten a punishment for people who break the rules in life. Otherwise it doesn't really work as a deterrent.
