Yet Google ranks their answers pretty highly so I think it is somewhat representative because it means people are reading the site and linking to it. Maybe it doesn't mean it's mainstream, but it does suggest that I'm not by myself and I believe this view of outer darkness as being for eternity deserves to be seriously considered.
What would be worse is to find out that it is for eternity when we hung on to the belief that it was temporary when we either die or when Jesus comes back, because then it will be too late for us and our loved ones and friends.

I agree.
If anyone knows what is "mainstream Christianity," it would be Google. Or perhaps the NSA.
Think about this: Won't 1,000 years be a longer time than eternity? If there is no more time, then how could eternity be a "long time?"
