Interesting enaugh, fundamentalist believers see Heaven just as a place where one can worship God for eternity. With that in mind, you don't really need Hell. Just send everyone to Heaven: zealots are going to feel good while everyone else is going to plunge into eternal insanity.

This in reality might be heaven for a masochist. But wouldn't
after awhile it would be the complete norm for a person oh
hey time to get burned alive again or well oh hey i'm getting
stabbed with a pitch fork again. While people in heaven
are the exact same opposite and its like oh hey its that 1
same harp song and it just keeps repeating. eventually
insanity would set in for people in heaven and in hell
if that is a routine schedule.
You are ignoring the obvious -
What is the advantage of a male human soul reaching heaven to spend the all eternity stroking a male gods ego? AS far as I have seen - an eternal homosexual relationship with a god.

There is no advantage of going to heaven you are forced to always be happy you have to praise god and kiss his ass. you give up your free will so say good bye to that. you have 1 repeating harp song over and over. if you hated some person or really disliked them chances are you will meet them in heaven. meeting people in heaven such as if you meet someone there who sexually or verbally abused you that one person on the off chance will be happier but the person who had said actions done against them wouldn't.

Tell us what would it be like if you were eternally separated from God, can a fallible mind even conceive such a thing. God's love rains down on everyone even though they do not see it.

Hell is never referred to as torture except by those who see themselves qualified to be there. But your description of hell is much closer to what it will be like, except that the struggling and screaming will never end, the mind will be eternally lasting.

Quote:I've been living separate from god for some time now. I find it quite refreshing.
No you haven't just because you fail to recognize Him doesn't mean He's not present in your life.

They abused the powers they had, just because they did something wrong doesn't mean it's true.

Lucifer would only punish those who would really need it so in hell people would get what came to them if the did some horrible things when they were alive. he wouldn't torture those who did god without good reason. sure blaspheme god pretty much Lucifer is your best friend after that. you just cant say Lucifer is all evil. Lucifer was a angel he lived with god he gotten free will and god said bow to me and his first actions pretty much he didn't do what he was commanded to do. you know why he knows how god really is and what type of being god really is. so enjoy time in heaven im going to were all the cool people are going to be and the fun.

Three unsupported assertions and a complete misrepresentation of the question asked followed by a request for evidence. Fucking priceless.

The whole christer pyramid scheme relies on the concept of "free will." Lucifer's "free will" got him booted from Heaven, Adam and Eve's "free will" got them booted from the garden and our "free will" is what makes us horrible sinners. Yet the christers try to sell the idea that the new heaven and the new earth will somehow be different even though all who are there will still have "free will."
If there is "free will" in the alleged afterlife, someone, sometime (we're talking about eternity after all) will fuck it up, get booted and start the whole fucking cycle over again. Christer "logic" only works up to a point (and not a very distant point at all) before it come crashing down. The willfully ignorant continue to ignore it's failings.
