ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Damnation

Hey there kiddo! So, have you ever heard of something called "damnation"? It's a big word that means being punished forever because of something bad you did.

Imagine you're playing tag with your friends, but instead of tagging them nicely, you start pushing them and being mean. That's a bad thing to do, right? And if you kept doing it, your friends might not want to play with you anymore.

Well, some people believe that if you do bad things like that for your whole life and don't try to make up for it, you might go to a place called "hell" when you die. That's where you're punished forever by being away from all the good things and people forever.

Now, not everyone believes in this idea of damnation, and there are different beliefs about what happens after we die. But the important thing to remember is that it's always better to be kind and do good things for others, so you can be happy and make others happy too!
