'''Eternal damnation''' the religious doctrine that some people will suffer an eternity in hell. They have no prospect for respite or rescue, either because of [[predestination]] or because of choices they made in their earthly lives. Compare to [[universalism]] (everyone goes to heaven without exception) and [[annihilationism]] (instead of being eternally punished, the damned just cease to exist). Eternal damnation has been by far the majority viewpoint in the history of [[Christianity]], across all its main branches - [[Catholicism]], [[Protestantism]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]]. However, a few denominations exist which hold instead to alternative views; these denominations tend to make exceptions when it comes to liberals/atheists.
