@Draakjacht - Interesting view. As to hell (hellfire) again that is a Greek philosophy that got brought into Christianity. Originally the terms used (Sheol/Hades) meant the common grave which Job prayed to go there to get relief (Job 14:13) and from which Jesus was brought from (Acts 2:27, 31, 32).

banned for hellfire.

I'm not totally sure where hellfire specifically came from. I mean in that Sheol is mentioned in the Old Testament and described as an afterlife apart from God, but it was most often used in relation to the peace or separation for Earthly concerns that death brought. Granted, there were those that skipped it altogether, but it's been debated if that's death without bureaucracy or transcendence, as the Muslims use with Muhammad. It's described as darkness.

Hades is not homogenous. It's been described as having various terrains, although the myth changes with time and region. Even still, the dominant description is one of mist and gloom. There are areas, such as Elysium, which are referred to as being better or worse, thus the basic concept of Heaven and Hell, but in this case they are both the same realm and neither described in modern ways.

Of course, Christianity also took heavily from Zoroastrianism, which dealt greatly with universal duality and the conflict of good and evil. This explains a great deal of the insistence on having the two sides constantly fight and the need to describe them in such a polarized fashion. Granted, evil had to take a backseat, as Zoroastrianism relies on the idea of each side being equally capable, whereas Judeo-Christian religions need God to be more powerful than all others. It's more political than anything, but has become the established orthodoxy.

Banned because money is vital almost anywhere (except if you're a self-sustaining community (rare) or a hermit on a lonely island) to survive without being a burden upon others.

banned for money is symbolic. The ability to trade and agree on value is vital. Trust me, I could go to any country with a pocket full of diamonds and most people would be willing to give me what I need for one.

Banned because you know what I mean :P

Though I'd like to see you go into a supermarket and get goods for diamonds. It would take far longer to sort out than just using cash.

Typically I would say yes due to corporate hierarchy, but if you're willing to overpay, I can picture some managers taking a hit on shrink.
