Do you like the lore of angels vs demons, heaven vs Hell, etc




Angels versus demons is always a badass subject. Especially in games or shows. I love the statues and artwork as well. Just seems like a badass thing to me. Even if I wasn't religious I feel I would still like the lore.

Somewhat although some mythologies/beliefs have a form of this that I like better such as With Hades and Zeus. I'm not religious but it sure would be a nice thought to imagine a afterlife rather than nothing after death.

What has come out of it (like Dante's Inferno or the concept of dualism) is interesting to me but I find it sort of scary to believe that there could be a place of infinite punishment.

No, polytheistic mythology is more interesting.

As a Buddhist I do enjoy the stories and I actually I like how the Supernatural series represented God, Heaven, Hell, etc.

Isn't most of the "lore" when it comes to angels and demons in the Christian sense actually mostly from later works like Paradise Lost, the Divine Comedy etc?

Nah, it has too many plot holes, and the main character is too flawed but instead of making that part of the character like the Greek gods, the canon just ignores those flaws. Also the fanbase isn't fun to be around.

The extended universe is really popular around where I live though (Alberta/Montana/Idaho/Utah).

If we're being honest. Christianity pretty much robbed the dualistic light vs. dark concept from Zoroastrianism.

This. It's like the twilight of religion, it's just so ridiculous I laughed my way through most of it.

If you are "in it for the lore" you should really just convert to paganism. Go start reading some north Germanic literature. Icelandic sagas should keep you going for a while.
