the whole "eternal punishment" thing... maybe he will just forgive everyone after a million years or so. I mean, won't he get bored with everyone either up in Heaven or down in Hell? Won't he want something different after a while?

God never get tired of anything and anyone! He is pleased with the righteous. In facts he is so pleased with the righteous that he gives them all they desire and more. He even directs their steps, as it is written, " the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord."
But with the wicked God is angry as we read, "God is angry with the wicked every day" and in another place, "There is no peace for the wicked." I like this one, "A man though in honour, yet does not have understanding, is like the beast that perish."
You might ask, if God so hate there wicked and has all the power to do whatsoever he desires, then why doesn't he just destroy the wicked once and for all? I think that would be a good question to ask, if we don't understand God and his attributes. God is not pleased in the death of the one that dies. God does not take pleasure when a wicked man dies, he would rather have him change his ways and live. God knows the end of the wicked man and he also knows the end of the righteous man - as a result, it is written "precious in the site of the Lord is the death of his saint".
God is a good God, he is a loving, compassionate, merciful God who care for his own.

I don't believe it's a matter of "getting tired of it." I think it's what it states. Eternal punishment is eternal punishment. God doesn't want that for us He wants us to be in Heaven but some unfortunately make that choice.

No, that would mean that He is a liar, God said for eternity,
Your placing God and examining Him in a temporal sense.
God exist in eternity, He exist in the future and the past and the present, all simultaneously, Time itself, the ticking of the clock as it were, was created by God for us as He does not need it. God exist, outside of time, so from Gods perspective he exist in the future so when he said for eternity, then he is already there.

God is an evil hateful being. For 50 years of sinning you get eternity in hell. What a nice deal!
Atheism has a way better deal. Forget the fairy stories and live in reality. Be responsible to your fellow human being now instead of hoping that somehow you'll be forgiven later for being a lout all your life.

In the Bible the word "eternal" or "eternity" is totally absent. In Hebrew the very concept of eternity as abstract word is foreign. And the concept of Hell is an interpolation by corrupt copiers, and a mistranslation by others.

The two great attributes of God are His mercy and justice, if one is taken away then there is no God at all, where do we get our sense of justice from if not God, albeit ours is tainted.
God cannot be untrue to His nature and deny His justice.

Stop blaming the invisible man in the sky and realize that humans are responsible for their own suffering, actions & consequences. Spirituality is different.
