Sin is not ‘fulfilling’.

Why not? If a person has the evil desire to look at nekked girls, then he "fulfills" that evil desire by hitting a few buttons on the keyboard. But in hell, there won't be an opportunity to do that, yet he might still have that evil desire. At least, this is what I thought MLG was talking about.

Maybe he fulfills that desire but is not satisfied. That is why he needs to do it again and again. Moving to more and more depravity and decadence. Like money and power, it is never enough.

I understand, but sin is misery. It is greater punishment ‘fulfilled’ than not.

Sin separates us from God, which is the greatest existential suffering we can imagine, which is what the definition of hell is.

In Dante’s Hell, each sinner received what sin he wished, for eternity.
