Well that seems to depend on who's reading it :P
I might not be understanding the nuances here, but from what you say even an Unforgivable Sin is "punished" by oblivion in the death-sleep, no?
So I gather then that you don't really fear hell, although not-hell would be preferable?
That's about it really, just the death-sleep is forever
I don't have any need to be afraid of hell, I'm with God. But even then I don't fear death-- there's nothing in it for me to be afraid of because if I were to drop dead right now, I'd be dead (death-sleep, but this one's temporary) and the next thing I'd know would be Him coming back
In that case, why would anyone fear hell?
And if hell is the event at which you aren't choosing God, why have it in the discourse at all? Or maybe I'm imagining it wrong, as to me it sounds like a waiting room kind of deal, you die, you wait until you make the decision and then you pass on to whatever you chose - rebirth or long sleep (in which case also the next thing to happen would be Him coming back, as either God changes their mind over eternity or you don't wake up at all).
