Well, that's *definitely* not Me. I can't trust a god that would allow a hell to exist. Ever. Can't love it, either, and will not obey such a rat-bastard.
But your denial of God is an emotional reaction, not a logical one. We might imagine a disobedient child who is about to be punished by his father. He might cover his eyes with his hands and say of his father, “You don’t exist!” but that would hardly be rational.

Special pleading is a fallacious argument.

Yet you do not explain why downbeat is not being logical. You just dismiss it out of hand. Step one. Acknowledge that science has evidence contrary to your position.
Again, all you are doing is offering your opinion. Why should any of us in here adopt your position, your opinion, as the best representation of reality?
