I don't think this is a well-defined question, because it's pretty difficult to understand the concept of Hell. (I think its pretty impossible to completely understand it) | ||

But how can you understand eternal suffering if you've never experienced it? All of our ideas are based on experiences, and unless you've experienced something, you can only say indirect things about it. | ||

Are you always going to sneak in your beliefs to an hypothetical question? and my response is : If you want to go to hell, you will go to hell. God will not go against your own will and forcefully put you into heaven, if you don't want it. | ||

Hell is just basically infinite displeasure. Now if you enjoy the conventional term "displeasure" then hell would obviously be something of that opposite. So....of course you have the free will of choosing to go to hell.... But if hell is defined as the opposite of what you want...I don't see how choosing to go to hell can be one of rational thought.... | ||

Hell is extreme displeasure that's relative to every single person, and by definition it's not possible to want displeasure. Bad question, sorry!@But if hell is defined as the opposite of what you want...I don't see how choosing to go to hell can be one of rational thought.... | ||

Is it possible to want to be evil? This would come under the Catholic category of Mortal Sin, although evil itself is not a realistic purpose. It is simply consenting to do evil. | ||
