OK, let's go about this systematically: Where were you the last time you remember having a soul? What were you doing? Start there.
But it sounds like you're just depressed, which sucks, but it doesn't have to last forever. Since you've already seen a doctor, maybe you should try pastoral counseling? This sort of angst is in their boathouse.
So after such a doorman has burned in writhing agony for a trillion trillion lifetimes, they have not yet begun to get the punishment they deserve? Because that's not even a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of torture that's coming their way in an eternal hell.
The order of the universe is unlikely to revolve around what makes us sleep better.
There's a difference between a deterrent and a punishment. Punishment is something we are supposed to learn from to help us mend our ways, like a prison sentence for a limited time. A deterrent is supposed to scare other people into behaving by making examples out of violators (like the death penalty).
So, after watching this serial killer pedophile cannibal writhe in burning agony for a trillion times a trillion lifetimes, you'd be enjoying yourself so much that you'd vote for infinitely more of the same? Humans aren't capable of infinite crime, so they can't deserve infinite torture. Or infinite reward for that matter. The Abrahamic afterlife system is not based on what people actually deserve. It's just a carrot and stick social control system.
Because God is infinitely thin-skinned and infinitely unforgiving.
If he is as he presents, he is a believer who thinks he has lost his soul due to offending God with an unforgivable sin. You might want to point out that no one actually knows what constitutes that unforgiveable sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Do you think a teenager who said 'screw the Holy Spirit' in his metal phase is damned forever with no hope? If not, maybe let this guy know why not. If he turns out to be a sock, what harm will you have done?

All are poor, and you can see the sick class divisions whenever you enter the building and see the doorman looks down; calling you a "Pasha". and you know deep inside that this man and his family are so smelly and so poor because a mad dictator is controlling the country and robbing the whole cash for himself; instead of spending it like he should on people like the doorman of your building.
Thank God my conditions were much better.
Some people deserve hell; Astreja. No father or mother on the other hand, deserve to work as slaves calling me a "Basha", while sleeping in a bug infested hole below the stairs.

I seriously doubt it, if this person ever knew God he would not have made all the mistakes he did. I think he's a sock and I hope someone catches him at it. Besides I'm not mad what good would that do me no matter who he is. Actually if he were to be a Christian I just might get a bit upset with him for such a poor expression of what the Bible says. That is definitely no way for a Christian to act.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
