what about Milton's view of Hell - that it is both frozen and fiery, just in different places? also, if anyone's bothered to read the Divine Comedy, they know that Dante's "insider information" came from his tour of Hell with Virgil. though as to your point, papermachesatan - that of isolation going on longer than you're alive - isn't that somewhat contradictory? if Hell is assumed to be eternal, as is the soul, and the nature of Hell (fiery or frozen) is such that one never gets used to it, but is instead in a constant state of torture and unimaginable pain, then... yeah. follow the logic.
