I don't see how anyone can stay sane with that kind of fatality that the idea of Hell implies...
How can you be okay with anyone not sharing your beliefs ? How can you have someone you love not believing in God and not do every single thing you can to convert them ?
Is it that they just don't really believe it, or is it that they are entirely devoid of human emotions ?
Argument from incredulity. What you understand is irrelevant.So too is your personal world view and values. It's not up to you or anyone else to tell others what they should think or believe.
It is a common conceit (and ad homimen attack) by many atheists that believers in X Y or Z are stupid ,ignorant or insane. In my opinion,such a position is no more than a sneaky form of smug bigotry.
