I’ve never once seen you unequivocaly state your position on eternal suffering.
Do I like it? No, but I also don't like the suffering in this world much either.
What I will not do, however, is reject reality just because I may not understand or like it.
The conclusion that I've come to over the years is that the one thing that is desperately missing in the continually wayward Earth is the fear of God. Either people don't believe he exists or, if he does, he will not punish them for wrongdoing in any way.
That leads to hell on earth.

So you’re an atheist or you just don’t believe in the Christian God?

I didn’t know that. What does that mean? You believe in multiple gods? I’ve heard the term but am not sure what pagans believe.
