      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Consciousness values its own continuation; permanent cessation violates this fundamental interest absolutely.
      ?

    Reasons Against

    • 2.Infinite punishment implies infinite duration of negative experience; annihilation has zero duration of any experience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Deprivation of future goods differs fundamentally from punishment, which is infliction of present or experienced suffering.
