maybe this would help: one's heaven and hell destiny is not determine by an intellectual decision about the existence of God, rather it's their deliberate rejection or acceptance of the truth clearly revealed to them. if they determine they want independence from God by rejecting that truth, He gives them their wish. as an aside: the word 'torment' appears to actually mean 'restraint'. Those that have demonstrated the most evil on earth receive the most restrain. others have a different destiny since they accepted the truth.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
