Going by the logic that everything must come to and end I conclude this: All living things at some point die. If you go to hell, you will be conscious of every agonizingly horrible second of it, until time ends, at which point you will progress to the next stage of whatever. If you simply stop existing, thereby having no sensory perception to perceive the time you are not experiencing, then if your atoms ever reform into the mind that you once possessed, then the transition would be instantaneous and it would seem like you just blinked.
