The man denies the Trinity, so you already have evidence of said deficiencies.

So, he not only doesn't believe in the Trinity nor can he comprehend eternal life and death. He seems really mixed-up.
If it is a real place that exists right now, then where is it? It's not mentioned as existing until Jesus Christ returns to earth, and seems as if it's a real thing on earth that people can see with their own eyes. I really don't know why you would assume that.
Also, where did you get the idea that the damned have an "eternity" to spend? Is it not written, that eternal life is the gift of God, but the wages of sin is death? And in another place that God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whomsoever believes in him might not perish, but have eternal life?
Preterists are those who believe all of the prophecies of the Bible have already occurred in 70AD or some such nonsense. It's a false doctrine and a silly one at that.
Yes.
I use the poll results as an "add to ignore list" tool. Avoids wasting time discussing things with someone already too far gone. My ignore list used to be quite large, but I decided that deniers of the Trinity, in other words, non-Christians, is the most effective means of avoiding time wasting discussions on all the other oddities such persons also carry around as baggage. Would be nice to have a rule that all members must vote in the Trinity poll. That would really help weeding out who is worth engaging and who is generally not.

The Lake of Fire exists in the Spiritual realm not the physical.
Well that is a nice way for my online activities today to be coming to a close. That said, I am just now looking upwards in the night sky just to make sure a meteorite (or a catfish) is not falling in my direction.I have to admit, I agree with you.
You said that you believed the book of Revelation was perceived in real time, as a real event. It describes the battle of Armageddon and Christ's return, the resurrection of the saints, the rule of the saints with Christ for 1000 years, and the resurrection of the rest of the dead, and the sentencing of the devil. I have trouble understanding how it was all in real time, because that would make Christ's return something that happened in the past, in the first century.
2 Timothy 2:17-18 KJV
(17) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
(18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by real-time. For sure I didn't know what you intended by that.

Why do you make that assumption? Other descriptions of the same event seem very real and physical.
Malachi 4:1-3 KJV
(1) For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
(2) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
(3) And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
