Well, I happen to have science on my side. Awareness requires brainwave activity within a certain frequency range. Dead brains do not generate any brainwaves; hence, no thought, no memory, no sensation and no belief. (To put this in perspective, we don't experience those things in deep, dreamless sleep either.)
Therefore, if your alleged god wanted to punish someone for what they did in their mortal lifetime, it would have to deliberately and with malice of forethought recreate that person's neural network, complete with memories of that person's deeds, solely for the purpose of torturing them forever. When one considers that it would be just as easy to recreate a heaven-worthy personality, your god is *ahem* without excuse.
I am so sure that heaven and hell are utter bollocks, though, that I actually took a vow to go to hell if for some reason it exists (although I doubt that very, very much). It's been 10 years since I made that vow and I have no regrets and no fear.
