"Eternal punishment" would not be pointless IF the certainty of it was certain, and not a matter of belief. If there were daily or weekly features on the 6PM news updating particular individual's continuing, specific, horrific and eternal torments in Hell, we'd all be better behaved.
Imagine the talk around the watercooler tomorrow at work if Brigham Young was shown on the news tonite, still in Hell, and gutted like a pig, roasting on a spit over a blazing fire, screaming in (im)mortal agony all the while.
It's like the Doomsday Machine in Dr. Strangelove. It only works if you tell everyone about it, why would you keep it a secret !?!?!?!?!
