The Mormons call it outer darkness too, so does James. But Jesus calls it a fire, a fire is a place with heat.Yes, seperation

Essentially, " outer darkness '
Yep. I did 30 days in county for a second DUI, can confirm it is similar to hell.How do you know it is literal fire? Fire as we know it may be the only way for God to express the horror of Hell. Hell is probably much worse than literal flames.
Driving Under the Influence of the Spirit.Yep. I did 30 days in county for a second DUI, can confirm it is similar to hell.
There's another aspect to consider too, that we have become distanced from over the 2,000 years.I'm just pointing out how ridiculous hell is, that the God of the universe would go that far to toast people.
Really?
God ain't going to hurt no one, love is love.First things first God is God beyond our comprehension there is no point in questioning or philosophising how or why He does things or seems not to do things the way that He does; your options are to accept Him and His reasons 100% or reject Him and His reasons 100% all else is a futile and delusional exercise.
Chris, I really wish that you would cease these thought patterns especially on Hell you don't seem to realise the danger you are in just walking into evil games and contaminating yourself with idle and proud chat. It's not just you that gets caught up into it. Untold numbers come across your posts, young in faith, maybe not even in it, you could be hurting others without a clue! this worries me.
Better for you to go back to your bible and refresh on what Jesus actually teaches about Himself and how to be a disciple and try to forget what the different churches have told you that may or may not be sound and avoid all this secular stuff you are into that has warped your spiritual and moral understanding. Please, come back to sense!
I've never been to jail, but I think the separation from the outside world might be a little Hell in miniature. But since you were around people, it was not as bad as Hell. I think the "outer darkness" is being alone forever in absolute nothingness. No light, no sound, no other person to share your trouble, no communication, no God. It must be a torment.Yep.

Actually if there was a hell, it would be a static place frozen in a moment.I'm certain it will burn for a looooooooooong time
Fair punishment, which means you either pay and leave or you are destroyed in the process."Hurt" is rather vague. "Love" doesn't preclude punishment.
God ain't going to hurt no one, love is love.
Most efficient way to store defective polarized bio energy.Why?
No, it's because of said truth claims Christians make about Gods fairness preclude such answers.Why are those the only "fair" options, other than because you say so?
Ah, yes. The Outer Darkness. Not any place I'd choose to visit, even if I were slumming; because what if I got stuck there?I've never been to jail, but I think the separation from the outside world might be a little Hell in miniature. But since you were around people, it was not as bad as Hell. I think the "outer darkness" is being alone forever in absolute nothingness.

Sounds like hearsay. You need to provide your own claims.No, it's because of said truth claims Christians make about Gods fairness preclude such answers.
That's about people burning their children as a sacrifice to God, which God indeed never asked for. That has absolutely no bearing, however, on the existence of hell. People don't go to hell to be sacrifices to God.Such as the verse in the bible where God says
"It never entered my mind to burn chidren"
