Just because nothing really bad is happening to me at the moment,i will not be lulled into viewing this fallen world through rose colored glasses and convince myself that everythings a-okay,because its not,we are in deep deep trouble and are all standing on the edge of an abyss that most will refuse to see,even though its all around us...Go buy a wide screen tv instead...that'll cure the sicknesses of our society...and our souls...

I think you nailed it for your own personal perspective. I experience joy every morning when I wake up. I view each day like a new present to opened, wondering what's inside. If I truly believed I was in hell, I don't think joy would be able to enter into my life. Plus a lot of other positive things.

We cannot hold the world together ourselves, thus, we are not the ones holding the world together.

I didn't say we were, I said He is. Continually
No brother, He sustains life, he orchestrates every cell division when we are formed in our mother's womb. He upholds the entire universe daily, continually, without ceasing since the beginning of time. That's called "common grace", just being able to live is common grace from God.

And He wants a relationship with us. I like your idea of collapsed infinity, it seems to involve free will.
I think God thinks very highly of us and has entrusted us within Creations inner or deeper workings. I think that each time we make a choice to overcome our darkness, through Love, we empower not only ourselves but also the fabric of the Universe.
so your happy and or fine 65% of the time and so am i...But...while we are busy being happy and fine,most of the rest of the world is sliding into despair,chaos and war...

If this is hell, then why do I only hate life about 35% of the time or less, and I'm just fine 35% of the time, and 30% of the time or more, I love life more than ever? Am I a demon who's learning to live happily in hell? Or am I learning my lesson and getting ready to get out of here? Interesting thoughts, thank you for sharing with us

For every negative thing you have listed, there are opposite positives.
Believe what you will because I think what you propose here is your view of the world and how it relates to you.
