Actually, one of the points of Christianity is to think about "good" people going to Hell. Hence the reason for proselytizing.
Getting back to the metaphor:
People aren't intended to swim in the lava. Maybe it's not a split slide but a slide that leads to a pool that you can choose to jump off into lava.
In this park you only have 2 eternal options, lava or water nothing else exists except the slide. I believe I'm digressing from the point though.
Does any amount temporary suffering equivocate to everlasting punishment? I would say no. Does any amount of suffering or sacrifice equivocate to everlasting punishment? I would say yes.
Perhaps I should start a separate thread for my side points:
a-Hell was not intended for people, but was created by God.
b-Should any creator (omniscient or not) be morally culpable for it's creations when granted the gift of volition or choice.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
