The doctrine of hell is an evil doctrine that originated from pagan mythology, but the Roman Catholic church used it to put fear in to the minds of people only for control.

Original sin:

MEANING., Original sin may be taken to mean: (I) the sin that Adam committed; (2) a consequence of this first sin, the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from Adam. From the earliest times the latter sense of the word was more common, as may be seen by St. Augustine’s statement: “the deliberate sin of the First man is the cause of original sin” (De nupt. et concup., II, xxvi, 43) https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/original-sin

The belief began to emerge in the 3rd century, but only became fully formed with the writings of Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD), who was the first author to use the phrase "original sin" (Latin: peccatum originale).[4][5] Influenced by Augustine, the councils of Carthage (411–418 AD) and Orange (529 AD) BROUGHT THEOLOGICAL SPECULATION ABOUT ORIGINAL SIN INTO THE OFFICIAL LEXICON OF THE Church.[6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin
