I actually do have a theory about this creepypasta.

At first, I thought this story was kind of creepy, but then got incredibly silly at the end.

The idea of not being able to physically sense anything while being tormented by voices in your head was, and still is, of course, very stomach-turning, but when the man said "I have spoken to God, and he has abandoned us," I thought that was a silly thing to say. First off, I'm a rather religious person myself, so I have incredibly high doubts that God would abandon us and our world, seeing as according to scripture, he has a grand plan for all of us. More importantly, I was wondering, "How could you have spoken to God if he has abandoned you? Did he say 'I'm abandoning you.. NOW! Bye!' After you were done with your conversation?"

Then when I thought it through, I came up with this theory. The man was being tortured by thousands of voices, and he kept on screaming "No mercy!" over and over, which makes me think that maybe when the man said "he has abandoned us," he was actually talking about all the souls in hell, and himself included. I think that he was hearing the voices of all the souls who rejected God and were danmed to hell, and he was one of those souls, he just hadn't died yet. At least, not until the end of the story.
