    So far, not a single theist that believes in hell has given an answer to the question.
    I'm an "annihilationist", but as I understand it, sin is sin. The major point is if one is repentant or not.

    So you believe that if I am bad during my life, it doesn't really matter how bad. My annihilation will be no different from Hitler's, and if Hitler was repentant, he gets to live and I don't?

    To me , analyzing your post, would seem that it is begininng to look more and more bogus(the idea of hell)

    It would be most amusing after a lifetime of berating others for not

    a true Christian .. honest!" ... Oh the irony .... 😉

    Of course that won't happen because Islam is a false religion.

    Like all the others.
    The only true religion is your own. Like the bums who go on talking to themselves in public and the like.

    Mind you this also applies to wealthy "lost" people (scientologists come to mind) who go about rattling their brains of how to fit a square peg in a round hole

    It's Greek Mythology which was very popular at the time of the 1st Century church.

    All this about an eternal hell was introduced from Greek Mythology. They believed in "Tartarus", a place in hell where gods, people were kept.

    You are not a very well-read person. The Jewish writings and literature found in the Dead Sea area gives a pretty good idea what they believed at the time pertaining to hell and the afterlife. It has nothing to do with Greek anything.

    I am not God. Only God knows a man's heart, be it Hitler's or even yours.

    Besides, I didn't know there were degrees of annihilation.
