Yeah, this is why I said it is a long discussion. I think about these types of things all the time, and I really discovered philosophy along the way. It's actually made me more religious (sans pageantry) because since I accept that I could be simulated / could be a simulation, I also have to accept the hellish horrors you list. But I have faith that an ultimate good / God / Omega would limit suffering and while I share you worries about humanity, I think that ultimately good will triumph or at least evil will self-immolate. But HN isn't really a good place to talk about these things, and I generally like to keep spiritual stuff off of here.

As a Catholic, I find your choice of words very interesting. The Faith teaches that darkness has no part with light, and no unholy spirit can stand before the Triple Holy (good and evil are said to be like water and oil). So the damned, who cannot stand (in) the presence of God (who is agape, the ultimate good, and triumphant), are thrown / throw themselves into Hell where they are immolated. Except souls are eternal, so they remain forever in that separation from God (the source of all good). "...people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment..." [Hebrews 9:27]
