You do that. Bear in mind that thing about hell being cast into a lake of fire. Either it's a pointless exercise, because you've already ceased to exist and can therefore not feel anything, or you have to be kept alive until judgement day (and who knows when that's coming? Oh wait, it might be this Friday...), which means you are being kept alive for the sole purpose of being made to suffer more, which you say would be evil, and would presumably therefore make your God evil. So which is it?
Your language tells me everything I need to know about you. You're 'drawn to' Christ. WHY? It 'shouts truth' at you. HOW? How has God answered the prayer? We deal in proof around here, CR, not in shitty little stories about trees or the sun shining through the window onto your Bible, or moments of awe, or feelings of euphoria, or stupid shit like that.
You wanted to believe in Jesus, so you made it real in your own head and believed. It's as simple as that. That is not God answering a prayer, it's you suiting your own wishful thinking, particularly in light of the passing of a loved one. If any further proof were required that it's nothing more than that, you accept a literal heaven and reject a literal hell. 'Oh I think I'll just believe the nice bits of my religion, those nasty bits aren't for me'. Religion is man made, and yours as much as anyone's.
