I feel like hell and especially eternal is a masochistic wishful thinking.
Apparently once created, the soul is eternal. Part of being made in the image of God. I see no reason to characterize it over and over as "masochistic wishful thinking". What point are you trying to make?
I like the use of the word "apparently". Has no meaning in this context.

First, I'm not sure you know the meaning of masochistic.
Second, both we and God are eternal beings. One eternal being rejecting another has..guess what...eternal consequences. While you complain that is unjust, what is your reasoning that it is unjust?
Eternal consequences for not believing in something there is no evidence for. For giving us the capability of reason, and punishing us for using it
