1. Believing in God is like spending your entire life in jail in suspense waiting to see the judge

2. Simply believing the devil exist causes an unpleasant feeling

3. Feeling attacked just because someone says "God is fake" is being in a very bad position

4.Feeling the need for God to watch over you is like thinking something or someone is always out to get you.

5.Christians are taught that they're nothing without God. So you spend your entire life thinking you're nothing without being accompanied?

6. Christians are taught that nobody's good. So they think they're living in a world where everyone's bad. Sounds like hell to me

No, not all God believers are living in hell. I think you meant to direct the question towards Christians (since you start mentioning them the last two.) I know when I live thinking about all the things I've been taught in Christian churches in the past, I feel like I'm living in hell. At the least, feeling as though any wrong move I make could send me to an eternity of misery, has contributed to my anxiety disorder. :)

You tried to do my thinking for me?
Number 1-- I've never felt my faith was like being in jail, ever.
Number 2-- Evil is unpleasant, no matter what form, Nazis, Khmer Rouge, ect.
Number 3-- You can call God "fake" any time or any place in this country. It makes me sad for you, but I don't feel attacked.
Number 4-- Life is not easy. But I don't feel like someone is out to get me. And I could after overcoming numerous chronic illnesses and surgery, but I don't. Its just life and the breaks I got genetically.
Number 5-- I am not nothing. I would still be my children's mother, my husband's wife, my pupils' teacher and my friends' friend, with or without my faith.
Number 6-- I think everyone is good with the propensity for bad built in. However you choose to deal with your own personality is what you become.

Please do not make assumptions for me. Its insulting and it makes you look shallow.

1. The Bible says over 500 times "fear not" and "do not be afraid"..we do not have anything to be scared of nor are we in jail by any means.
2. I put the armor of God around me and no evil can penetrate
3. I do not feel attacked. It is a free will thing
4. No, not at all. God's presence is not scary.
5. No,it is a wonderful thing to realize what is life like with Jesus and without it. I am willingly with God.
6. We all fall short from the glory of God but He loves us and never refers us as sinners after we accept Him and keep His Word.

No, not hell at all. : )

1. It is not like being in jail. We are supposed to enjoy our lives while we await our time to be with our Lord and then we get to spend eternity in Heaven.
2. Believing in the devil causes no unpleasant feeling, just as knowing there are car crashes or hurricanes.
3. "Blessed are those who are persecuted in My Name for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven!" Mat 5:10
4. God is not out to get us, He watches over us to protect and love us.
5. We are taught that we are special in His sight and that with Him we can accomplish anything!
6. We are taught that everyone sins. Christians included. This is a cakewalk compared to what hell would be like.

I agree. To believe in a supreme being who is capable of rejecting its own creation, is to always have a little doubt - what if I don't measure up, even if I've done this, and that? Will God look kindly on me? I believe in Love. The best description I've found is the Tao. It encompasses everything, dark and light, good and evil, and takes it all back into itself without judgment. There is nothing else to do, because it is everything - the profane and the profound both.

interesting hypothisis, but...I was raised mormon, became wiccan, then was atheist and then became christian, the first three religions left me suicidal, I had been suicidal all my life until i became a christian. You would think as a wiccan, I could cast my depression away or as an stheist, think it away, but no, something was missing. As an atheist I had nothing to look forward to after death, as a wiccan, I had no idea were I was going after death, as a christian, at least i am not suicidal anymore and I know I will be happy being in heaven for eternity (eternity a mormon term-sorry).

Where did you come up with these interesting statistics on what Christians are taught? Your facts are uncoordinated at best, and slanderous at least.
But to answer the question, no not hell, but sometimes it feels like purgatory.

some believers ( as far as i understand ) could end up in hell because though they believe, they may have committed major sins and have not been forgiven or begged to be forgiven. even though they believe in God and his signs and proofs , their actions could ruin them, being too proud to ask for forgiveness. we are nothing without God, we very much need God, when people attack God, it is a grave insult, not a leaf falls or any action takes place without Gods knowledge
