As always, fiction precedes fact.
This was a 2000AD story some years back.
Buttless clothes.

And that is my inner geek completely exposed (much like these butts).

Which raises (NOT begs) the question: Why would a Satanic devil guy want to collect raw, barely-formed souls of children? Wouldnā€™t richly experienced souls of older folks be more rewarding? Iā€™m reminded of the conceit that miscarried or aborted fetuses, or infants, have their souls delivered straight to heaven. Then dead adults would be surrounded by speechless, mindless nothingburgers. Doesnā€™t sound like an appealing afterlife for adults. Does Satan collect miscarriages? I doubt it.

Iā€™m pretty sure it is Krampus in the picture rather than Satan.

Close enough. Modern Murkans probably canā€™t differentiate.

What religion is that from? Iā€™m a recovered Catholic and they teach that unbaptised souls go to purgatory.
They also teach that animals donā€™t have souls, which is one of the many reasons I drifted away from their teachings as a teen.

Wait, this isnā€™t Catholic dogma?

Christian, maybe? Same with the Narnia books. I loved those books as a kid and only learned later of the Christian undertones. I remember thinking it was cool, at least, that there were all those animals in Narnia.

Pretty sure they donā€™t preach either purgatory or that children go there. Anyway itā€™s in the Nicene creed that resurrection is the bodily resurrection on the last day. Elements of folk religion that are not part of official beliefs are rife.
