Just like every theist has their own unique concept or mental construct of a deity.
My 'heaven', is the inevitability of this chaotic nightmare of existence ending, and re-embracing the peaceful bliss of eternal oblivion.

Logically, if the omni-benevolent omnipresent god is real, hell cannot exist in any shape, state or form.
You'll have to quit this platonic love nonsense and finally accept you're part of an evil cult that believes in an evil tyrannical deity portrayed in the immoral Bible I'm afraid. Not that you ever will of course. Without the fear of sin or the threat of hell, you have nothing.

I think the idea there is that "do what I want or I will kill you" is sort of a conflict with the idea of free will, making it so that the choices you have are to be holy or...nothing at all!The annihilatists would disagree with you. You do not speak for them. They assert god is too merciful to allow the godless to exist in perpetual suffering and sin for eternity, so effectively, puts them out of their misery.
