I know that sounds like an explanation to you, but all I see is more fan-fic..more "because - I don't know". Even more than that..given your audience, and the way you began your post "I know atheists have a problem with"...well, I have a problem with hell, so telling me what your beliefs regarding the face of god are doesn't actually address the problem I do have. I don't think that you'll be able to accomplish what you -seem- to be setting out to accomplish, in this manner, with this atheist. If it -does- have something to do with a persons reaction to the face of god, for example......I still have the exact same problem with it that I had before you offered your beliefs as an explanation.
