Kosta: No, FK, death is a state.

FK: OK, but what does that MEAN?

How about: darkness is loss of ligth. Death is loss of life. God is life and light of our souls. If we die separated from God, our soul is deprived of God's life-giving enegries and exists in spiritual darkness.

Well, I don't really "think" I have any problem with those images, but I don't see how any of them couldn't equally apply to one actually and really existing in a place called "hell". That is why I'm asking what the difference is between existing in a "state" with no location, and actually existing in torment in an actual place that takes up space in whatever dimension it's in.
