Did Christ suffer more on the cross than the souls in Hell?

[St Giordano Bruno]

This is one question I would like to ask Christians, Roman Catholics in particular; Who suffered the most? Was Christ's suffering on the cross any worse than the degree the condemned souls are suffering in Hell?

the qualifier "the most" is unnecessary. Jesus suffered. Period. That's all that was needed or expected.

The Passion of Jesus eventually ended, but the suffering of souls in hell will never end. They are eternally left out in the cold (or searing heat), eternally seperated from God. Jesus passed through his Passion experience and came out the other side better than was going in.

Pre-Easter = Human aspect is destroyed
Post-Easter = Glorified self is revealed

That would make God appear like some kind of a narcissistic Mesopotamian tyrant who sits up in heaven laughing his butt off at all us atheists frying in hell. Little wonder I can't believe in him or her or it.

You believe in God just to hate Him, evidently.

I don't think amount matters. Both Christ and the people 'in' hell chose to be there. That is the point. How much is just a detail. The difference is that Christ chose to 'leave' hell, and in doing so, taught us to do the same.

Lol, I think the kids that get molested by the catholic priests suffer the most.

An eternity in hell would be worse than a child's worst experience of being molested by a priest. Infinitely worse. To cheer yourself up, think of what happens to pedophile priests when they get to hell. Think of what happens to the network of pedophiles inside the Vatican who make it all happen.

Well, considering there's no such thing as "hell", it's pretty impossible to answer the question just like that...
