So you're saying not much (if any) cognitive dissonance going on in their minds. I can accept that as an alternative, but again, this thread isn't about making absolute statements about Christian (if that's what you thought I was trying to make), rather about pondering potential dissonances that go on in the minds of Christians regarding hell and going with past experience and such, seeing as there have been several former Christians confessing to these cognitive dissonances.
Yes, Christians can say they believe we're all going to hell. And it's possible some may truly believe this without doubt.
Anyway, I think I should've added the question for former Christians:
Did you truly believe most people were going to hell?
