How do I not fear hell?

What is the oldest, original un-edited version of the Bible?There's really no such thing, the Bible was a work in progress for hundreds of years and then it was edited and translated to hell and back, and in order to get to the original intended meaning you would have to be able to read Hebrew.
How can someone decieve themselves into believing God speaks to them? It seems far-fetched for a sane person to believe this is true unless there's something more to it.

There is no such thing. It was edited by people and then what made it in became the bible you know.

I think that hell sounds better than heaven.
God killed millions of people according to the bible. Satan only killed like 10 or so. Satan seems more likable to me.
JesusLover, who told you that you don't have the intelligence to understand these ideas? You said your dad said you shouldn't read the Bible because of your OCD, but who said you weren't smart enough?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It brings so many fears to my mind and I don't what sources are telling the truth.
