Which would you prefer, if you and your loved ones were condemned to Hell eternally:


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

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

Hell as a place of cold, dark, eternal separation from God, all others, the senses, and the source of life and goodness and love

Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul

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

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 anything beyond your immediate surroundings, witnessing the slow decay and destruction of the physical world and universe you've become bound to forever

Some other form of Hell, or combination of the above?



Likewise, which version of eternal Hell is worst... which interpretation would you least prefer you and all your loved ones to experience?




To be clear, you and your loved ones are condemned (it's NOT a choice) and it's definitely Eternal.

Worst version, for obvious reasons:
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

Best version, because eternal oblivion doesn't sound all that terrifying, and it probably isn't all that different from Heaven:
Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul cessation of all conciousness

The version that I think real Hell is the most like:
Hell as a place of cold, dark, eternal separation from God, all others, the senses, and the source of life and goodness and love

Who else feels the same way?

"Best":
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
Or:
Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul
It depends on how my life turns out

Worst:
Which would you prefer, if you and your loved ones were condemned to Hell eternally:
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
This of course, with this other one in second (preferable to the first, but still bad enough I should mention it):
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 anything beyond your immediate surroundings, witnessing the slow decay and destruction of the physical world and universe you've become bound to forever

What I actually think Hell is:
Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul

Well it depends. But some forms you might prefer over others, right?

From best to worst

Hell as the complete and final destruction of the soul (10/10)


Hell as a place of cold, dark, eternal separation from God, all others, the senses, and the source of life and goodness and love
 

(Huge gap)


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 anything beyond your immediate surroundings, witnessing the slow decay and destruction of the physical world and universe you've become bound to forever

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

What about ironic hell??? For instance, I end up in the heaven of a fundamentalist Protestant Christian as an atheist? This sounds scarier than actual hell when you think about it long enough.
