Abyss (religion)

Okay kiddo, so some people believe in something called the abyss in their religion. It's kind of like a really deep and dark hole that you can't see the bottom of.

In some religions, they say that the abyss is a place where bad, evil things happen and bad spirits live. It's not a very nice place to be, so people try to be good and avoid doing bad things so they don't end up in the abyss.

Other people believe that the abyss is a place where you can go to think and reflect on your life. It's like taking some quiet time for yourself to really think about what's important to you and what you want to do in your life.

Everyone has their own idea of what the abyss means to them, but generally it's seen as a really deep and powerful symbol in some religions.
