From my experience with my families denomination, they see hell as the temporary disconnect from God followed by a lapse into non-existence. Which is an example of Daniel's point. There are different interpretations, so attacking a specific one, such as the hell fire interpretation, results in a weak argument.

I would sooner choose hell than follow a God that was holding damnation over my head, though I think I would be happier if I was so delusional.

Ah, well, the thread is dead.
