Right Sons. The 3 references to outer darkness doesn't specify the sentence. It may only be like a little timeout, to think about what you've done. Surely you're not in there long enough to gnash your teeth completely away.
It's imagery & allegory. The outer darkness is not a real physical place.
But it's a great tool for cults to use for fear-mongering.
