Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree then, because the way I see it the bible gives very mixed messages on what hell is and how long I'm going there for.
But at least thanks for a reasonable discussion, you seem more logical than a lot of the theists that post here.
I still have to question why there is a hell at all though. If I'm created in god's image, by god, with god already knowing everything I'm going to do, and knowing all the chances for sin (that he made) that are going to come my way, and knowing that im never going to believe in him...why doesn't he do something or change the way he makes me in the first place so I don't go to hell at the end of my life?
