The mainstream view is eternal fiery torture, so that's what I usually rail against.
It is eternal, Matthew 25:46 "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. The verses preceding this tell who will be going into eternal punishment." Hell is a place of darkness, no hope, and no escape from that hopelessness, no one can possibly understand what this will be like, so God gave man an explanation he could understand. This is my belief and I can't say I'm correct in this belief, but for me it fits with all God's justice and love. Of coarse there's more to this than my simple explanation. I do not want to derail this thread with what hell is.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
