@Pineapple - Dirch is simply trying to use a very weak argument in belief that God will somehow open his head. However we are Spiritual Beings so I don't know how he can reconcile the 'Physical Brain' with his Bible.
Anyway this aside - I do from times worry about going to Hell If I am wrong but ultimately the way I see it is that Jews (Original People) Explicitly don't preach the afterlife. This came in around 300 BC - 90 AD when Rome got its hands on religion and started tampering.
@Pineapple I hear your view completely but for some reason Christians think 'SomeHow' its acceptable for God to punish those we love. I must admit as a Christian when I had to come to this concept I felt dis-intrested inside e.g. thinking 'At least I'm in Heaven'. So I can see where Drich is comming from.
To be honest though reading the Bible considering God who openly spoke to the Jews before Jesus and he never once mentioned a 'Hell' I'll go with the OT God on this one. Also if someone wants to throw the Lake of Fire into the Midst please do - Unfortunately though the Book of Revelations is hardly a reliable source. It largely contridicts everything you know about God and Jesus lol.
