Do you have a citation for this?
If my soul is immaterial, it won't be affected by fire, for good or bad.
Yes, that is exactly what the Bible says will happen. At the resurrection, the dead in Christ will rise first, then everyone else. This is a physical resurrection since the souls are already in heaven—or hell, whichever the case may be.
Now, if you want to make a decision based on fear of hell, Islam is your best bet. Yahweh just throws people into the lake of fire and is done with them. But Allah rejuvenates their skins when it burns away so they will eternally get the full effect of torment.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
