And that's another thing! How was Lazarus supposed to get there to drop a little water into his mouth, and what good was that supposed to do him? Wouldn't the fires have burned Lazarus?

Do you see what pressing the details in a parable results in??

I don’t know how that question invalidates the reality that the rich man was in CONSCIOUS torment.

The place he was in was also mentioned — HADES.

If you want to argue that his torment is TIME LIMITED, maybe you might have a point, but the reality of the torment cannot be ignored.
