as I've theorized before regarding 'eternal' punishment;
for an omniscient deity, considering a damned soul consigned to eternal infinite punishment, it would be possible for that deity to know the end state of that soul, even after an infinite period of infinite torture.
Therefore,
such a punishment could be meted out, the soul would be unaware regardless, and if you think about it, it's a better way to run hell. No staff, no supplies, the souls are still punished, no managerial or logistical headaches, just fucking better.
Damn, I could run an enterprise like that, and more importantly, a deity that could work out such a scheme might actually be worth a few laurel leaves . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
