If I really believed Hell was a real place and that the vast majority of people were destined for eternal torture, the sadistic nature of which would make the Nazis cringe in moral disgust, it would drive me crazy. I couldn't stand the thought of no one heeding my warnings or that even one person I spoke with couldn't be saved. It would be like watching as all of us obliviously walk off the edge of a cliff into an active volcano, only there wouldn't be the release of death to end our torments in the lake of fire below.
Then again, I'd have trouble worshiping a god who would do that.
But, while the christers are all firmly convinces that almost everyone is going to hell, they are just as firmly convinced that all their loved ones are going to heaven. Even if it means somehow getting the "problem" loved ones some form of magical sky-daddy exemption.
