"I love you Honey"

As with real world Christianity, the holy book of Honey's religion is thought to be the divine word of god, but in actuality is a collection of many different religious texts that draw ideas from many different world religions and stories. Much has been changed across countless translations and revisions. Due to this, the book is somewhat inconsistent when it comes to defining Hell, and there is much scholarly discussion and speculation over the topic. Toffee, having studied scripture for decades (he even has a doctorate in it), interprets hell to be a simple desolate void, in which the individual is deprived of the presence of god. Honey and Merry both believe in the more traditional "lake of fire" version of hell, in which the individual is tormented for eternity, usually via immolation of the soul. Their version-not that they know it- is largely colored by depictions of hell in popular media, which themselves draw from ancient literature and poetry (basically furry Dante's Inferno), rather than their actual holy book. This image of brimstone and hellfire is fantastic for frightening people into giving money to the church, but also keeps both Merry and Honey in a state of existential anxiety. Honey fears defying the teachings of her church and going to hell. Merry does as well, but he's much better at justifying his own sinful behaviors. By his own logic Merry should be doomed to eternal damnation as a traitorous, unrepentant, lying adulterer, buuuuut he tells himself that was all part of the almighty's mysterious plan. 😌 Only "real" sinners go to hell (real sinners being defined as anybody Merry and Honey do not like).

Out of curiosity though, what is hell depicted as in their religion?

Toffee is the best one to counteract this because he would just gently ask her where in the Dog Bible it says anything about that.
