That's presumptuous of you. The realization of the inherent evil that is the notion of hell came later. I left Christianity because it just stopped making sense. I turned on my brain. It'd be like if I truly believed that people could fly, unaided. I have anecdotal evidence of it at best (David Blain "levitates" on camera, after all), but perhaps you can't see things that way. To you, you have better explanations that demonstrate to you why humans zipping around just can't be done. I have to have faith for my belief, but you just can't even support any faith with that because you don't even have anything to convince you of a chance of it being true.
The reasons I think the claims of religion are wrong is layered, but the notion of an all loving God creating such a place as hell is just one more problem to my long list of problems I have with Christianity.
