Default Worst religion to get punished in

In a few religions, such as Christianity, you get punished for not believing in it... what religion has the most severe punishments for not believing, or for being "evil", in your opinion?

Christianity might win. Not many things can be worse than being an eternity of torcher.

I've heard stories that Greek can be bad, like to the Titans who challenged the Gods...I'm just looking to find more tortures or whatever.

Yeah, Christianity is pretty bad, that whole eternity thing bites.

If you want to enter the realm of the Hungry Ghost, a type of karmac regression in Buddhism, and can be likened to a type of hell, smoke salvia. Well, maybe it's not the real thing, but it's the only way I can describe the experience.

Is the Christain Hell eternal torture, or just pure annhilation. ?

torture (well it depends) Some will say it isn't eternal, and you come back. It depends.

I think it makes more sense to say that hell (in a Christian sense) is eternal death, not eternal suffering. The idea of eternal suffering didn't really come into play until the 3rd century or so. The Bible mentions that 'the penalty for sin is death' and describes hell as an everlasting fire. I think that just because the fire is everlasting doesn't mean that the soul is. Basically, you burn up and die, cease to exist. For one, you can't feel pain and have memories if you are supposed to be dead. And second, a just God wouldn't pass infinite torture for finite sins. So, He simply makes them cease to be. (At least I hope that's how it is ).
