    At what point does it stop being a punishment and just all you’ve ever experienced?

    Like how would they make it so you don’t get use to it? Erase your memory every 10 minutes? Sounds like the end of those 10 minutes is relief. So all you’ve ever experienced is 10 minutes of pain than relief. Doesn’t sound so bad. Even if all you ever remembered was the memories of your past life and then 10 mins of pain at least you would have those good memories to reflect on before you would have relief again.

      You’re trying to corporealize a concept that is fundamentally non-corporeal. An omnipotent being could make eternal suffering mean suffering eternally simply by virtue of being all-powerful. The means by which this is done is (would be) completely beyond our understanding or even able to be conceived by our current understanding of the world.

        … no, that’s your interpretation of what I said. I asked a straight forward question and you put your own spin on it.

      A little bit of the salt of relief can bring out the sweetness of suffering
