The concept of Hell discourages belief

[smax]

I died and resurrected myself.

Then allow me to offer my services to you oh, great one. Allow me to make a you tube video of you getting shot/shooting yourself, die and then resurrecting your self.

Eitherway, know he who claim to be God or even all of his Apstoles died terriable deaths, save one. (He died on an Island Prision) So.. it seems you like your sailor buddy are painting yourselves into a corner with only one way out.

What neither of you two genusis fail to comperhend is There is indeed a way to 'prove' if one is God. That is Dead and Resurection. All who claim deity are put to this test in one fashion or another, only one to date has passed.

Have to disagree here. I think Ryan has provided an even more compelling case:

For one thing, we know that Ryan is a real person and we can interact with him.

Secondly, we don't know for sure if Ryan has died or not, but we know for sure he's alive now.

Finally, being that Ryan has now claimed death and resurrection which, let's face it, is a BIG DEAL, we are not going to act as if this event is unworthy of credible documentation and historical note.

No, we are going to take pictures of Ryan, record dates and accurate testimony that doesn't contradict itself, and collect as much physical evidence as possible. With that, no one will ever be able to refute that Ryan was, in the very least, a real person who made such bold claims.
