Question: Which version of hell would be most "just"?
#1
Hell as a place of fiery eternal torture, cast out of God's presence, whether it's uninformly pure torment or something along the lines of Dante with punishments related to but much worse than the person's chief sins
 
#2
Hell as a place of fiery eternal suffering and shame, being unable to tolerate God's presence and the presence of all you've hurt as all your inner thoughts and secret dreams and hidden actions are exposed naked to all
 
#3
Hell as a place of cold, dark, eternal separation from God, all others, the senses, and the source of life and goodness and love
 
#4
Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul
 
#5
Hell as reliving your life for eternity, but all future times only passively without free will, and directly feeling all the suffering that your actions or lack of action cause to others, near and far, sooner and later
 
#6
Hell as being an invisible, powerless spirit that can't communicate with or see other spirits, or even have enough power to move yourself, trapped within your decaying body and eventually blown around by winds and waves and fires, not sensing anythin

No version of an infinite Hell is just.

Catherine of Genoa's Treatise on Purgatory actually goes out of its way to specify that she doesn't think the experience of being in hell is subjectively as bad as it could be, because an infinite amount of torment for an eternal amount of time doesn't strike her as compatible with the idea of a merciful God.
