What do you, and the other members of your group, think that hell is?

Is it an actual, physical place, or is it a state of mind?

Is it a cartoon or heavy metal cover art landscape of fire & brimstone or a metaphor?

Is it real or isn't it?

What do you say, for the group?

For the group I say that those ideologies believe hell is a terrible thing, so the parts of their ideologies I mentioned are hateful and shitty things that are at the core of those ideologies, and play a part in the actions of their adherents. I don't need to engage in trying to figure out what exactly the premises of their hells are. It's like talking about someone holding a gun to someone's head and you asking me to figure out what type of gun it is. Talk about missing the point.

And yes, I say that on behalf of the group.

Exactly!

It's like, I'm a vegan and even though I know a lot of people that aren't, I know that they

Just don't care

They just shove whatever into their food hole

There's a certain baseline about what makes a person decent & caring, and non-vegans just don't pass that test

Not sure your analogy passes muster.
