I think Heaven and Hell are a constant choice. I'm a man of faith, but not religion. I think that God does exist, I think 'God' is the ultimate pure energy a.k.a the ultimate Love. I think Satan does exist, and is the ultimate lack of Love when the only thing left is negativity and Hate. I think there's infinite Heavens and Infinite Hells, and life is a constant journey between the two, moving closer to one than the other. And by 'life' I don't just mean this physical one, I mean the fact that you too are an infinite being whether you believe in Science or Religion. Right now, no matter what your situation, you can start Loving and thinking positive and you'll bring yourself closer to Heaven/Bliss/Dharma. If you choose to be negative, hate, and focus on the bad, then you'll notice the world around you turning into your Hell and everything you fear.

I've been studying that for about a year now, and still dont know the answer, but its one of these four things:
1.They depart from the righteous and are thrown into a horrible burning pit where they will be tortured and screaming for all of eternity without reprieve.
2.They will awaked to an everlasting shame and be made aware of the truth, to feel completely ashamed of what they've done, the truth will make them weep and gnash their teeth in outer darkness, and this state will continue for all of eternity. knowing what they have done in light of the truth, their shame and utter hopelessness will be ample punishment, with no need for physical torture.
3. They will depart from the righteous and enter the lake of fire, where they will be consumed in utter hopelessness and without remorse, the fires will consume all of the wicked and they will cease to exist, they will never be ressurected to eternal life ever again, but will suffer the second death.
4. They will depart from the righteous and enter the burning lake, which will teach them. They will be burning in holy fire in the prescence of the lamb. The fire will burn away their sins and make them pure spiritual beings once more. the process is "cutting-off" in the same sense that a tree is pruned back for future growth. Nothing is ever annihilated or punished eternally, but god will always punish sin in order to save the sinner.
Personnally I dont know which of these are true. I know that todays bible translations are somewhat altered though. For example the word suffer, or suffering meant in old english to let or allow. the word torment came from a word "touchstone" a stone used to test the purity of metals. Thats where the idea of a purifying lake of fire comes from. According to the belief those who are righteous and obedient wont have to go through the process. Also the word often translated as eternal or world comes from the word aionios which means and aion or an age. Im still studying the fate of the wicked and can't really be sure enough to tell you what will happen.

I will be seriously !
not like others...
this is an interesting subject !
HELL is not with demons dominationg people, or demons with other things !
HELL is the place where is no Light , no LOVE of God, a place well known for it's hate, sufferings, memorys !
we can cure someone who burned an arm !
but we can't cure someone who was put for 12 years under the pressure of the hate of his / her father !
this is the difference !
some people see HELL in a wrong way !
THE love of GOD makes the difference between HELL and HEAVEN !
you know... i can live with the hate of 200 people, but, i can't live without the LOVE of God !
Tell me how do you feel in the darkness !
how do you feel when you see something that makes you feel afraid ... and multiply that with 1.000 .... and more !
that is HELL !
and more than that, the fire of the HELL, is not a material fire, it's hate, pain, suffernings, emptyness, NO LOVE !
that is HELL !
in my opinion !
i wish that my answer is usefull to you !
bye !
take care !
Claudiu !

According to Christian dogma: They suffer a perpetual and eternal state of separation from God, and this is the worst punishment of hell, the second worst will be the regret which will be inresolvable. The company of other souls in this misery perpetually and the contemplation of satan and the devils in their anger and hatred towards God, His creation, His creatures, themselves and all with them.

They experience two kinds of suffering: physical suffering, i.e, fire and also spiritual suffering, the absence of God. This isn´t cruel on God´s part. It´s a matter of justice. a soul that goes to hell decides to reject Jesus and his redeeming blood .

They are strapped into a chair, have their eye lids cut off and are forced to watch every Lindsay Lohan movie ever made for all of eternity.

They are forced to watch reruns of old, very old Britcoms on PBS for the rest of eternity.

There are different tortures for different people. It's what happens, when you don't want life, love, and beauty. You get the dregs.
