Every credible theological account of the redemption that we have lacks any mention that Jesus saved the world by suffering eternal punishment. No-one claims that. He is said to be "seated at the right hand of the Father." I have zero reasons to believe that Jesus is in hell right now.

That's what makes Christianity...well..christianity. The christ bit is a title, not a name, after all. How does that work, being evangelical about something you haven't given much thought to?
I don't see what relevance my motivation or lack thereof for not having done much theological study on the redemption theories has to the conversation, so I won't answer. sorry
