Atheist Belief in Hell
- There's a few related concepts here, one that's been brewing since Sept 2018 I watched behavior among some atheist friends that seemed isomorphic to believing in hell.
- Another is a general fallacy that says "without <judgment/suffering/punishment>, people will do bad things".
- grab Romeo's things he posted on MWB about suffering
- This is essentially propaganda from the punishment-based memeplex, and it ends up reinforcing itself because it sets up a rebel-based behavior that initially often *does* act out in the way that the authoritarian warns, thus justifying the existence of the punishment. Note that this can be between people, but ultimately the structure is one that exists internally.
