Ignoring the insurmountable pile of contradictions in the bible, hell is actually the default afterlife destination due to humans being born with “original sin” (don’t know if that applies to embryos, but apparently god wasn’t aware of embryos when the bible was written).
Each sect has their own beliefs on the matter, with the majority believing all babies and children go to heaven, even though the bible does not explicitly say that this is the case.
Heaven / hell / whatever alternatives I’ve heard of have one thing in common: infinite time, which sounds like an absolutely miserable existence. It’s like that scene in the movie Beetlejuice where they draw a ticket for the queue, and you’re sitting there bored as shit forever. Apparently theres a word for fear of infinity: apeirophobia.

Actually, what “original sin” truly is has been debated, many believe death itself is original sin, which is why heaven is eternal.
