I know there is no god, but I do believe that there is a hell for children. Once a person becomes an adult, there is no hell.

God is love. We were created out of his love and desire for companionship. Would you condemn your child to go to hell? To be tormented for eternity? Simple logic will tell you this is a misleading concept put forth by people who would control the masses. It is the fear one has of eternal torment that keeps people in line and following false precepts. Hell is nothing more than the grave. Look it up in a concordance.
God wishes us to be blessings to ourselves and others. Don't accept what others say simply because you are afraid to question authority. Study these things for yourself and keep an open mind while doing so. And don't study them with an attitude of fear. Study them with an attitude of wanting to know your own truth, and the truth of the Creator. God gets a bad wrap on many things, and gets blamed for things which people do in their ignorance. Christ was our example and the first born into our potential. Follow his example and you will have nothing to fear.

If you know that God exists, and that He has set forth rules and the punishment for disobeying, then you have chosen Hell by not obeying him. Since you made that choice, with full knowledge of the deal, then why should He have to force you to do anything? He has already given you the power to choose, take your medicine and go to Hell…if that was your choice.

Properly translated hell is the Grave. All flesh goes to the grave all souls return to God. There are two gates to paradise the sheep gate and the goat gate. My sheep know me and I know my sheep,JC. Those souls that go through the goat gate are mortal,(liable to die) can be blotted out.
They have never been able to hear the word or have rejected the word while in the flesh. The final judgment is yet to come. The only souls condemned to being blotted out are Satan and his legions. They have refused to be born of woman. All souls must be born of water (through woman). To be baptized is to be born of the spirit and is an outward sign to the world that one has accepted Christ as their personal savior.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Flesh is the garment that the soul wears while in this dimension.Be at peace it is Gods desire that all return to him. Trust in the mission of Christ and his trust in Gods promises. Salvation is available to all flesh through his sacrifice.

God would never force us to go to hell. It is your own choice. You either believe and accept him or you don't. The latter will take you to hell.

God doesnt force anyone to do anything.Whatever we do & whatever we have is because our karmas (deeds) according to Hindu mythology.The soul of a person goes to hell to pay the price (that is to get punishment for the wicked deeds commited by that person).That person is responsible for this not the God.

You're kidding, right?
If you want a guarantee to stay out of hell, pray the following (and mean it, of course!)
Sinner's Prayer
Dear Father God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.
Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.
Help me remain to faithful to You all the days of my life in order that I may receive a crown of righteousness and dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
In Jesus' precious name,
Amen.

You are better to ask this of a clergy. Not here. To many diverse beliefs and theories. No one knows for sure as we have not ever heard back from anyone who went up or down. Who can say what lies ahead.

anyone that goes to hell does so by choice. God doesn't force anything.
