Can't do it anyway, so don't trouble yourself. Hell is an imaginary place.

Hell is the grave .....6 feet under.
'Hell' is a word used in the King James Version to translate the Hebrew she’ohl′ and the Greek hai′des.
Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, unabridged, under “Hell” says: “from 'helan' ...to conceal.”
The word “hell” thus originally conveyed no thought of heat or torment but simply of a ‘covered over or concealed place.’
Today, the meaning given to the word “hell” is that portrayed in Dante’s Divine Comedy and Milton’s Paradise Lost, which meaning is completely foreign to the original definition of the word.
If hell were a place just for the wicked, why would God send his Son to hell?
For Jesus went to hell and was there three days.
At Psalm 16:10 it was prophetically written of Jesus:
“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” Centuries later the apostle Peter showed, at Acts 2:31, that Psalm 16:10 had its fulfillment in Jesus, that he did indeed go to hell.
So hell could not be eternal.

I not quite sure how anyone is going to convince you because the nonChristian doesn't believe in a place called hell and you aren't going to believe anything the Christian says. The apostle Paul once said he wished he could go to hell to save his fellow Jews, but of course that's not going to save anyone. I really regret having to be blunt, but sometimes the truth is blunt. In John 12:48 Jesus says,'He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." In spite of the fact you said you aren't going to believe a word I say I'm really concerned about your eternal soul and I pray that something I say or someone else says will strike a chord with you.

it might actually depend on what you need to be assured...
do you need a sign?
do you need evidence?
or are you even sure of you what you need to be sure?
anyway, not believing a word Christians say is nothing (you can toss that away)
but if there is a God (as in the Creator, the Originator, the ID)
then not believing God's Word might be a totally different thing.
Peace.

You don't want to go there you wouldn't even want to send your worst enemy on earth to hell people who have had near death experinces describe Hell as a horrifying place of unspeakable
suffering: souls being tortured by demons, ripped off heads on pikes, people crying and screaming, smoke and darkness.
The worst thing about suffering there is not just being tortured
by demons but being cut off from Gods light and damned forever with no possible escape.

You sound like a very unhappy person, who might be very angry in life. You might not have to volunteer to go at all.

Well you are right about one thing. You do have a choice that's for sure.

You are already in hell.
When you realize heavenly bliss, you don't have to worry what the Christians say.
