My question now is... Who's going to volunteer to be drowned?
Theoretically, if there was an afterlife to experience, you wouldn't remember it anyway because memory is stored in the brain which becomes non-functional in death. You couldn't remember your existence in this life nor could you carry any memory of that on coming back to this world.
But if souls do carry memory independent of the brain, why can't this be done with people who have Alzheimer's, amnesia or just too much to drink the night before?
Then theorectically when I die I will feel No pain since my brain is No longer functioning. The brain also controls pain sensory as well. And since you assume my retched soul (because it's our souls that go to heaven) is going to hell, rest assure I will not feel the fire and brownstone.
