The joke is on us. We are taught to be afraid of eternal damnation. A worthy fear, except for the fact of who goes to Hell–the small self. We assume we go to Hell for eternity, when we can only go for a limited time because we are limited. We want to believe WE are immortal, but before too long “we” won’t exist. That is the joke. Hell may be eternal, but the small self is not. We can visit, but we can’t remain there. We so want our small selves to live forever that we are willing to scare ourselves to death. It’s a joke.
