God "created" hell? Is this anywhere in the Bible?
The reason I ask is because I’m reading Dante’s Inferno right now and he insinuates that hell was established by God before creation. He says this because there had to be a place for the fallen angels to go before human beings had that fateful meeting with the ultimate fallen angel in the garden. I know Dante’s comedy is supposed to be read as an allegory, but this seems like problematic theology, don’t it?
