I'm a Buddhist. You're not in hell realms forever. Some Buddhists also conceive of hell realms as excessively unpleasant mental states, so people are walking around experiencing them right now, maybe even you.
There's a story of a birth previous to Lord Buddha being in hell. That being showed compassion towards another being who stumbled and was whipped. That compassion led to a birth outside of the hell realm.
In short: not every religion has a timeless hell. Buddhism doesn't even have timeless gods. They're living beings too, just very long lived and potentially self-important ones.
Sure but in Buddhism it's still like a trillion years in hell which is more than enough to break you
sounds like a skill issue tbh
