… and who will be there?
- If there is a Hell, and it is overseen by the fallen angel Satan/Lucifer, why would he be so terrible to those whom God has also shunned? If he seeks to challenge God, why would he be so willing to do God’s will and torment the sinners for all eternity? Why not throw a big party and welcome his brothers in exile?
- Will we actually feel physical pain? Will this pain be inflicted by demons or other entities?
- Is it possible to be promoted in Hell? eg from a torturee to a torturer? If Hell is so perverted and horrible it seems possible that the worst sinners might be treated like celebrities, so actually the minor sinners would have the worst time of it, being goody-two-shoes by comparison.
- … or will there be multiple levels/circles? ie is it reasonable to expect that the torments suffered will be proportional to the sins committed? If this is the case wouldn’t it imply that Satan is more of a judicious prison warden than a godlike being of pure evil?
- Will the damned be tormented for all eternity? If so, isn’t that a bit much; a finite amount of sin punished with an infinite amount of torment?
- Is it possible to commit a sin in Hell?
- Is it possible to redeem oneself?
- Is there any reason why the damned should be expected to feel anything other than complete and utter loathing for a God who would dish out justice this way?
- Any chance one could choose anihilation/oblivion over eternal torment?
- Why exactly would a loving God create a Hell to torment his flawed creation?
