People did at one point. Didn't Jesus flat out say that rich people are going to hell? One of those conveniently forgotten lines in the Bible.

isn't there like no mention of hell at all?

Not "hell" verbatim but "lake of fire" is mentioned a couple times and according to Revelations that's where people who don't go to heaven go.

"Blazing furnace" is another common hell-adjacent term

That revelations thing sure is fucked up. But then again if you're still suspending your disbelief after the talking snake in Genesis, any of the locusts with human faces shit in rev is on the table I suppose.

I'm not Christian. But I do feel the need to point out the notion that Jesus never mentioned hell is in no way supported by the Bible, he absolutely did.
