Naturally, hell is bad. It is Satan's home, and the root of evil. There can be nothing good in hell, just as there can be nothing bad in heaven. But one thing that really boggles my mind is the fact that you are completely separated from God.
It's hard for me to even imagine it. Even if I could handle all the pain, horror, and sadness in hell, I could NOT handle not having God watching what I'm going through, and helping me through difficult times every step of the way. Here on earth we think we have hard times - ha! That is all hell is. Every bad thing on earth - pain, torment, sadness, death - that is what hell is comprised of! I couldn't imagine not having God to help me through the hard times I go through in this life, let alone going an eternity in hell where the only thing known is hard times.
Complete separation from God. What would this mean, exactly? Although I am fuzzy on being able to imagine it what it would be like, I believe I know what it would entail. He wouldn't bless our steps, protect us from harm, have plans for our future, or be there to help us to feel better when life feels like too much. He wouldn't answer any prayer of dire need or desperation. You would be completely alone, facing everything on your own. In hell, the other people will show no mercy to you whatsoever. They will beat you, mock you, and everything, all the time, will be rude and horrible words and actions. At least, that's the way I think of hell. And no God to protect you from anything? That is definitely not a future I want for myself.
