How can anyone be okay with Hell ?

[Zenith]

First, this post may be a bit emotional since i'm a bit shaken up, my brother, who i am really close with and who is not a fundie by any stretch of the imagination (he rarely even goes to Church) told me that i will be going to Hell when i die, and that i deserved it for being an atheist.

I simply don't get it...i mean Christians are always the first to talk about pity, and love, and acceptance...How can any Christian not go completely mentally insane about the idea that most people they see every day are going to burn forever in agonizing pain...the guy you pass on the bus, the co-worker who you talk about sports with...

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 ?

The idea that whoever does not believe in God (no matter the reasons/causes) goes to hell sounds a bit insane to me. You know, for a loving christian (i.e. one that cares about everybody else) this would be a torment for him: to go perhaps from door to door, always talk to everybody and trying to convince them to believe in God. If a christian which believes this theory, takes it seriously, then this is exactly what he must do. And then the problems of annoying everybody else, lacking knowledge, logic, wisdom, etc. (things that are developed in time) when explaining - have a very bad effect in a debate. And, on the other hand, if a man would go to hell for the sole reason of not believing in God, and God loves people so much, then my logic is that He would have sent angels to do the job, instead of other men (angels - are wiser, have vast knowledge, good logic, know everything they need to know to handle a discussion), and they would be in enough number, and would have had access even to the pagan X who lives in a secluded place and never heard the idea of the existence of a single God. Besides of the fact that in the Bible there are verses that seem to show that a secluded pagan is not taken the same way as the others (Acts 17.30, John 9.41, 15.22-24).
