So, after the sinners are removed, what is the point of keeping the fire burning?

"Could be"?
You're claiming to be in possession of the eternal and Universal truth that Jesus Christ is your savior -- yet here you are, guessing at what he means, and what story your Bible tells, and what is the significance of what is surely one of the most important concepts in the book.
And you don't know what it means, and even paper it over with an "etc". Fancy that!
It could be that the entire thing is a pile of bullshit. Prove me wrong.
You don't need to have an answer for every single verse to believe the main doctrines as a whole. If we were to debate on evolution or the beginnings of the universe, you would inevitably declare "i don't know", and expect applause for your honesty and integrity, and then try and capitalise on it by contrasting the religious who think they "know everything" with atheists who don't pretend to have all the answers.
