Also, how can you believe in all this? It's so far-fetched.
The purpose of hell is a punishment for eternal sin, when one sins and it's not forgiven it will last forever, the sin is against an eternal God, justice must be served. Now I'm not saying that hell want be a place of fire and actually it would be better if it is.
I find it far fetched not to believe, but to answer your question, it's simple when one has had the experiences I have, not that they just came along, I asked for that kind of relationship, it was a desire God graced me with.

In other words hell serves no practical purpose. So ... it is sadistic to make people suffer for no purpose.
Have you spent equal amount of time and effort exploring other religions?
