Getting back to the metaphor:
People aren't intended to swim in the lava. Maybe it's not a split slide but a slide that leads to a pool that you can choose to jump off into lava.
In this park you only have 2 eternal options, lava or water nothing else exists except the slide. I believe I'm digressing from the point though.
Does any amount temporary suffering equivocate to everlasting punishment? I would say no. Does any amount of suffering or sacrifice equivocate to everlasting punishment? I would say yes.
Perhaps I should start a separate thread for my side points:
a-Hell was not intended for people, but was created by God.
b-Should any creator (omniscient or not) be morally culpable for it's creations when granted the gift of volition or choice.
What does it matter if it was intended for people or not? Doing it to angels you kicked out of heaven is just as evil, isn't it? You're still creating a lake of fire for people who don't worship you to burn forever, without giving any opportunity between object servitude or eternal pain.
