Atheism liberated me from pointless thinking,and made my life enjoyable.

Hell is complete separation from God. Isn't what you want? It wouldn't be very loving for him to make you spend eternity with him when you didn't want to. You guys are never satisfied.

Depends on your interpretation or your church. There are about 40.000 different breeds and flavors and a considerable part tend to favor the fire and brimstone theory. Growing up as a Catholic it was all fire, brimstone and eternal torture.

It's not a nice place because it involves separation from God's protection. But as scripture says, "Christ died for all". At any rate, either you want to be with him or you don't. You wouldn't want him to force you to be with him. There just isn't a third option with God.

Sounds more like purgatory to me. Another Catholic invention to make some coin. In fact, the selling of indulgences, where you could buy off a certain amount of years in purgatory, were one of the reasons why Luther rebelled.
