If you have no problem going to hell......then there is no other harm I suppose.

i think of roughly this and that's the place i'm at suited now. we glance at God like we can reason with him. We additionally placed our earthly spin on it, i in my view would not deliver human beings to hell for no longer liking me. yet i'm questioning that is like this. If u fall off a swing and wreck ur leg, do u attempt to reason with the swing? Did u deserve it? have been u doing something undesirable? No! that is purely how life works. If life is like that, why can we predict of we can reason with afterlife? Act and result. no count number how unfair it might desire to look to us, quite do no longer count number. We purely would desire to have confidence that God loves us.

No harm at all. Especially since hell does not exist.
But don't tell anyone, the threat of hell is all that keeps many people in line.

The harm is that there is no purpose to one's life other than one's own agenda. It gives no room for faith and love outside of the one one the person with God is willing to seek. It is like having a glass of water but the glass is empty.
Hell is just a part of it, and believe you me that if it is anything as the descriptions in the Bible make it out to be, then it isn't worth it.
Finally, having the faith to love something greater than ourselves, makes us complete, because in each heart that faith was placed prior to one's birth, it is through free will that we grow apart from that grace, faith, love.
The harm is yours to bare, and it is ours too becuase out of love for you we have to pray more the harder.
God bless you and thanks for the opportunity to spread the truth.

Besides going to Hell. In Hell, one will suffer eternally. Going to hell is not just burning in Hell and disappearing. Also because your spirit will be released from your body, your agony is augmented thousand fold at least as your eternal punishment is an eternal torment to your spirit and there is no way out after you leave this life, you have no other choice to repent. Please read this story from the bible about Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'
25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'
30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
GOD GAVE YOU THE WISDOM OF CHOICE , USE IT WISELY

There's no harm, and hell is a fictional place made up by christians, and the devil is a fictional character made up by them to represent human nature.

Christians believe that in order to know true joy, true peace and achieve your true purpose, you have to develop a close relationship with God. Only through knowing Him will you have true success and know true happiness in life. So, to answer your question - the harm is not living your life to it's fullest potential.
Many will tell you that this is stupid. All I can say is, try it and see for yourself. Then you'll know if it's true or not. Great question though.
