Ok I admit it

Skepticism is healthy. It's not wise to accept something as true without any kind of evidence to support it. It can even be dangerous. You could end up joining a deadly cult.

I see you have not followed my link which explains common logical fallacies. The one you are using is called "Argumentum Ad Populum."

And then we get back to the population fallacy.
Dying to live, living to die.

That's not even an argument. Why is "faith" supposed to be a good thing?

We cannot question the Lord's priorities. He knows what is good and what is bad.

We can question whatever the hell we want
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Come on, man. You've got to stop making yourself look stupid. The argument ad populum is tired and lazy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

But what if, just what if there is a God? Why would I risk buring in hell for all eternity?

No, we MUST question them.
