I always keep a small section of my mind open to this, but always remember, even if things get much worse (and Revelation and prophets say it will) God wins!
Lazarus and the Rich Man Luke 16:19-31 which was Hades not Hell. Many Bibles mistranslate Hades for Hell the two are different look at the Greek in an Interlinea.
Hell today is empty and awaits the Two Beasts Revelation 19:19-20. Then in Revelation 20:11-15 where those of the 2nd Resurrection are judged at the Great White Throne with those not listed for eternity go to the Lake of Fire [Ghenna aka Hell] - second death, then Death and Hades to the Lake of Fire.
And who wrote that ? Do you know? Cos it doesn't sound sane does it? Look at it objectively! A spirit would not need a great throne of any colour....it would sink through a solid object ...if a solid object could be in a spiritual realm.....
And a spirit couldn't burn could it? And how could a lake of fire exist in a spiritual realm.?
Once the body is gone..along with hormones and glands producing emotions etc then there is nothing to burn or feel is there?
Ghenna was an actual place...jesus supposedly talked about it. It is in the Bible ..it was a place at the edge of the city where the rubbish and corpses were burnt when people were too poor for a decent burial etc ...it never went out.....this is th so called hell...an earthly place ...not in any spiritual realm
Wrote what? Lazarus and the Rich Man? I gave you all the Bible references just go and check them out. It is not like any parable as it mentions people by name.
Jesus also said Matthew 10:28 'And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.' (Gehenna)
Gehenna the physical place outside the walls of Jerusalem was a type of Hell - a type of the Lake of Fire. I assume you are familiar with types in the Bible.
At resurrection a new body is provided, to the true believer an immortal body for eternity, one which will have tears Revelation 21:4
You appear to have an issue with the plain words of the Bible Why? We have no idea what a spirit is, or what it can feel. How do you know?
'doesn't sound sane to me' well it does to me, and you do appear to have a lack of understanding of scripture, and are assuming things for which you have no evidence!
Anyway you will find out, perhaps its time for you to start trusting God's word, and not lean on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5-6

When you die..the body drops away...you are spirit....you want to tell me how a spirit can be in a lake of fire? Or in torment?
I bet I know more about than you do.
Who told you ? Who said?
How do you know the mind of a supreme being of all the galaxies and universes? He told you did he?
