The idea that the majority of all humans who have ever lived will end up enduring miserable, lonely, painful existences for ever, is so abhorrent to me that it was the main straw that broke the camel's back in regards to my 'faith' in the 'Christian' God. Most Christians I know actually believe in literal 'hell's flames' and don't bat an eye lid at the idea. I couldn't in all honesty associate with people who believe such a warped, sadistic teaching. There is a growing number of 'Christians' who don't believe in a literal hell etc, but how do you reconcile Jesus' parable about the Richman and Lazarus with a non literal interpretation? Yes, lot's of it is symbolic supposedly, but the notion of suffering after death and it not being ended, does seem to be a feasable understanding of the parable.
