Canonically hell is a democracy and heaven an absolute monarchy, so the art kind of checks out.
I don't think anybody voted for Satan. The Bible doesn't go into the politics of Hell lol
But didn't hell separate from heaven to avoid paying taxes?
They literally did, though. The War in Heaven that predates the Creation myth is supposed to be of an angelic rebellion, lead by an upstart Lucifer. All the rebel angels at his back choose to be there.
That sounds more like a polycule than a democracy.
I read somewhere that former Haitian dictator François Duvalier made a coup in hell and became the new Satan.
I think, canonically, Hell isn't real.
I think you don’t know what canonically means
Are we talking about the canon of the Bible? Hell as we commonly envision and as it's used in this thread doesn't exist in the Bible.
It was inserted by Paul. It's Tartarus from Greek mythology. He needed a weapon to keep the flock in line.
