Death here in this life is the ceasing of cognitive thought and the termination of biological life. But the question should be, is this what the second death is or is limited to? Scripture describes something else. There is a reason why many believe Hell is eternal torment, because in part that is what the bible describes Hell to be, (for satan and his angels) but at the same time Jesus Himself says it is where the soul is destroyed.
Now what Jesus said, did not include a time limit on how long this destruction/death would take. Think RotJ and the Great Pit of Carkoon (where the sarlacc digests his victims over thousands of years.) Death is most likely not immediate. I have it on pretty good authority/It is my thought that you will 'simmer' in Hell based on how you lived your life. And once the evil is burned away then what's left is also consumed by hell fire. Meaning your sanity is finally consumed, and either what's left is burned up or is further burned won't really matter much any more.
So you have it on pretty good authority? Wow, you must be really important. You seem to relish in describing the pain of hell.
You are one sick puppy there Drich.

Well Lek, let me put it this way.
I now enjoy life much more than when I was a christian.
And you can take that to the bank.

They were absent outside the West and that is also why liberal democracy developed in the West. Natural law, human dignity, and inalienable rights are all contingent on the existence of God. To deny the existence of God is to undermine the foundations of natural science and liberal democracy.
What a lot of hogwash. Repeating platitudes doesn't make it true.
"Natural law, human dignity and inalienable rights". You have to be kidding, right?
Have you read your bible?
So.. you not familiar with the works of one George Lucas? My 'description of Hell' was borrowed word for word from star wars: return of the Jedi.
