OK, WishfulThinking,
first things first, religion and especially abrahamic religions like Christianity are unfalsifiable by default, and thus trying to disprove them when they haven't been proven in the first place is futile.
We can however test and disprove their claims.
First would be the story of original sin by Adam and Eve, which can be easily disproved through evolution. Animals and species exist and have existed which are not accounted for in the bible. All animals couldn't have been herbivores as the bible suggests and after the fall of they became carnivores, we shouldn't have any herbivores out omnivores today. Besides, we and other species have several dumb biological design flaws, which can only be explained through evolution and not through intelligent design.
Next up is Noah, the story has no proof in reality of a global flood. Plus the story comes from sources much older than their first mention in the bible.
Next is Moses, again there are several discrepancies in the geographical locations mentioned and any historical records of him and his miracles is non existent.
After that is Jesus, again, no proof whatsoever about the biblical Jesus have ever been found. Nobody documented a single one of his miracles during his lifetime as a historical record.
Hell in itself is a borrowed concept. It didn't exist in the old testament and it isn't unique to Christianity either. Every religion has a way of scaring people into believing it. And even if I agree that there are fiery places all over the world, like the earth's core, the sun, etc, after you die, those things mean jackshit. Think about it, without your body and nerves to carry signals and your brain to process them, how do you expect to feel any pain? Do you get burnt when picking up a hot kettle while wearing baking-gloves?
