What you should be saying is “you don't believe in The Hell of popular literature”. That I would agree with. Satan will not be a ruler of that domain, strutting around with a pitchfork poking people.

How I look at it is, we know there will be different levels of awards in Heaven, so why not different levels of punishment in Hell, with Satan and his Demons receiving the worst possible punishment that can be dealt out, the Lake of Fire, along with the worst of the worst of Humans. With others, you may be right, it may be just separation from God. Just my opinion. I hope I won't the opportunity to know for sure.

Thank you for a reasoned argument.

I cannot think of anything worse than beholding the Glory of God, being judged and then cast out into the darkness of eternal death.

Cut completely off from Him, never to know His wisdom and Glory.

It will be especially hard for those who knew Him through Scripture, yet rejected Him.

That is my definition of Hell.

Pitchforks, demons and eternal life of torment? You would still know of Him and where there’s life, there’s hope.

I can readily agree with that. Hell is *not*, nor ever has been, Satan's realm. It is earmarked to be his prison. I suspect, that like "Supermax" in Florence, all the 'inmates' will be 'in solitary confinement', including him...
