I was speaking figuratively, not literally. You have to loosen up and use your imagination to understand what I am saying. The point I was making had less to do with whether there was no God, which means "finito" as you say, than if there is a God. Can't you see that the discovery that there is a God will shock our non-believing friends?
I made no judgement about "how the hell" they will be judged. That is something you seem to be concerned about. I am happy to leave those decisions up to God.
