re: We all exist. The question isn’t “How?”. It’s “Why?”

Weird, Christians seem to spend a lot of time talking about the eternal physical torture aspect. There was a thread a few days ago with a poster gleefully describing some deceased political opponent in hell being “arse raped by demons.”
So is it the mainline Christian position that I’ll just be super sad in the afterlife because I’ll be separated from the Christian deity, and not that I’ll be tortured by demons and/or consumed by excruciating fire for literal eternity?

Yes.
You will meet Him. You will understand and feel and be with all that is love and truth and justice and good. You feel that amazing presence. You will know the Truth that you always have known but chose to deny for your own selfishness. And then you will be torn from that amazing perfect presence for eternity because of your own decisions never to feel it again. That is hell. The complete separation from God for eternity and forced to live with the consequences of your own actions.

It is unfortunate how carelessly believers are in relating the teachings of eternal separation from God. A biblical understanding is that the Lake of Fire (e.g. Hell) was created for Satan and those fallen angles who followed him in rebellion against God.
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels…” Matthew 25:41
It is the desire of God that all repent of their sin and are forgiven and reconciled to Him.
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
