The analogy is mine, not Lewis's. And I maintain it is an accurate analogy to what Lewis is saying.
Huck's riposte is a good reply to the "send you to hellfire" school of Christian theology. I don't consider it a good reply to Lewis's. It's the self-righteousness that makes the difference. Being in Lewis's hell would be - again this is my analogy, not Lewis's - rather like being eternally stuck with a bunch of Conservative politicians just after they'd been roundly booted out of office. Not fun.
