I don't. I certainly don't think a loving God would ever allow one of his children to suffer eternally, even if they "chose" it.
I know many Christians don't believe in Hell either.
Do you? If so, what is your religion?

Fire and brimstone is what "hellists" preach. There are many who wish others would go to such a place. Pretty gruesome thought. Why some people (especially atheists) get upset when someone tells them to go to hell is beyond me, since they don't believe in God anyway.
No I could not fathom a loving God to condemn someone to such a place. Hell could only be the 'invention' of a warped human mind.
The Bible sometimes speaks in symbolic language and is often taken literally in those passages that mean eternal death, with no hope of a resurrection.

Yes, hell is real. Luke 16:23 And in hell he(the rich man) lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Revelation 21:8- But the fearful, and unbelieving,and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Yes, hell is real, God has done every thing needful, that no one should go to hell, He even gave His Son to shed His Blood on the cross for an atonement in order for us to escape hell. There is not a real Christian alive, that don't believe in hell. The people that refuse to believe, and continue to follow after Satan and his way are going to wake up in that horrible place one day. Hell was created for the devil, all who follow after him.

Yes. The Holy Bible declares that there is a Hell and the Lake of Fire. Christian.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal the Truth of God's Word to you.
Revelation 20:13 - And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Yeah why couldn't god make a place where non-believer go that wasn't torture for an eternity? I mean really why would a god want to torture thing it supposedly loves. That is what I would do.

Well I look at it this way
We are living in Hell here on Earth as we are all suffer one way or another
As we grow spiritually our reward is when we go to the heaven : )

Hell is the suffering you create for yourself during your lifetimes. I believe in reincarnation, so after we die, I don't think we either just go to heaven or hell. How we would we ever learn anything or grow?

Not everyone is His Child. Only those who have turned from their sins and accept His Son, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior, are adopted into the Family of God.

I believe in Hell, but not in eternal suffering. It is a cultural concept left over from the middle ages, and not substantiated by Scripture.
