Everything's better when you're not on fire. No fire is correct. Before physical death, everyone chooses whether they want separation or connection for their eternal abode. Angels and humans have an additional component over and above other living creatures, the made in the image-of-God 'Spirit' which gives eternal existence and free-will. God places a high value on freedom. He rather have free-will and evil, then no free-will and no evil. Any torment felt by eternal separation is therefore self-imposed. God doesn't have unlimited power since his nature controls his actions; therefore God cannot torment. All contrived supposedly clever question about what God can and cannot do are related to his nature restrictions. This what is meant when God was describing himself to Moses from the unconsuming burning bush: "I AM WHO I AM".

When the people wanted freedom of religion Moses and Yahweh went nuts and slaughtered them. Living by their rules is akin to living in hell on earth.

No boiling is correct. Before physical death, everyone chooses whether they want separation or connection for their eternal Buffett. Angels (Real word Anelloni) and humans have an additional component over and above other living creatures, the made in the image-of-FSM 'Spirit' which gives eternal existence and free-will. FSM places a high value on freedom. FSM loves free will but has to battle evil endlessly in biblical laser tag fights. FSM is super sorry about the torment felt in the great boiling but as long as your not a dick your safe. FSM has unlimited power, but has one weakness that spawned into existence as he did before the beginning, The Anti-Pasta; Therefore FSM cannot torment, Rather it is the Anti-Pasta who has domain over suffering. This what is meant when FSM was describing himself to Boyardee from the unconsuming burning bowl: "I AM WHO I AM".

Well tell us then. Can I murder someone, then repent and accept Jesus for the prize? Tell us.
Yes, if it is true repentance. You knew that already.

There are too many who think repentance is just confession or saying/feeling sorry as well.
