It's definitely hell, that's why reincarnation and karma are a thing. I've always noticed how each person seems to have a constant luck value associated with them. The same people keep getting extremely lucky or extremely unlucky. I guess it's a degree of punishment, but since everyone is imperfect they have us imprisoned for good because they can always hold something against us. That the way to succeed is by working hard is a complete lie. I used to think so, back when everything came easy to me. I just assumed everyone else was lazy. Then I had to start actually working hard and still fail every time. And I know my life is still a piece of cake compared to most of the world. I really can't see why anyone wants to live except the luckiest few, because life is nothing but misery for everyone else. Anymore I don't truly look forward to anything but when it's finally over. I think this is the real reason Christ had to "die for our sins", because God having to sacrifice himself to himself to atone for what he is the pardoner of doesn't make any sense. He could simply drop all the charges. In early Christianity he was a ransom, not a blood atonement or a sacrifice.
