None of that is incompatible whith what I posted. I just don't believe that "fire and brimstone" nonsense and do not believe that tere is any greater punishment than being deprived of an eternity in the presence of God.

The infamous atheist, Christopher Hitchens, would probably love this way of thinking. I heard him say that the very idea that those in heaven will sing praises to God non-stop for all eternity sounded so boring and unacceptable to him that he wanted no part of it anyway. He would be delighted to think that he will not have to face eternal misery in hell either if everyone lost is just annihilated and ceases to exist.
