If you don't believe in any of the other stuff then why do you believe in hell???

Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
In short (since there is lack of space and time here).....
The only way to Heaven is to truely believe that Jesus died to pay the price for our mistakes, that we are forgiven, and that Jesus rose from the dead and will return again to us.
It's obvious that you do have a belief system or you wouldn't mention that hell even exists. Let's make this simple by just using logic.....
One of 3 things will happen...
1. Both Heaven and Hell don't exist so it doesn't matter.
2. Only Heaven exists in different levels.
3. Both Heaven and Hell exist and you're going to one of them.
That's theology in a real quick blurr. With 1, it doesn't matter. With 2, your set to jet. With 3, you have a choice to believe in Jesus or not and that determines where you go. All three put together as a probability experiment, this means that you have 33% chance that Hell is a destination (which it seems you believe).
If Hell is true, then Heaven is true. If that's the case, then the Bible, Jesus, and God may have something that you might want to check out. I did...and it's the best choice I've ever made in my life.
I'd say you have some research to do before you stick with this belief system. :)
Eternity is too long to be mistaken.

The safest road to hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C. S. Lewis
For every American who believes he's going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven. This optimism stands in stark contrast to Christ's words in Matthew 7:13-14: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
What would keep us out of Heaven is universal: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us from a relationship with God (Isaiah 59:2). God is so holy that he cannot allow sin into his presence: "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong" (Habakkuk 1:13). Because we are sinners, we are not entitled to enter God's presence. We cannot enter Heaven as we are.
So Heaven is not our default destination. No one goes there automatically. Unless our sin problem is resolved, the only place we will go is our true default destination . . . Hell.
We dare not "wait and see" when it comes to what's on the other side of death. We shouldn't just cross our fingers and hope that our names are written in the Book of Life (Revelation 21:27). We can know, we should know, before we die. And because we may die at any time, we need to know now—not next month or next year. "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes" (James 4:14).

My dear friend, hell is real and heaven is real. If you do not beleive in this, you will one day find yourself in hell. Please do not take chances. Have u ever heard of the NDE? Near death experience before? Its a phenomenon that doctors call a situation where someone is medically certified dead and then comes back to life. All these people that have had this experience testify of the reality of hell or heaven. They all return with a greater determination of making it to heaven. You may not have the opportunity to have an NDE to make up your mind on going to heaven so please do not take chances take the opportunity you have today and simply, A-Admit that you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself from hell, Believe in Jesus as your saviour from eternal damnation in hell and Confess your sins. Then find a Bible beliving church and begin to attend. Also buy yourself a NIV Bible and begin reading from the gospel of John and then read the whole Bible. You will learn of the Holy Spirit ask him to fill you and you are on your way to heaven. If you ignore this......you are sure to go to hell someday!!! Please do not ignore this plea. Its for your ETERNAL good.

yes you will if you dont believe in God or Jesus. since you dont believe in the Bible either than i cant really tell you why you wont be able to go to heaven, and why you would go to hell.
If you would by any chance read the bible, in Matthew 7:19-20;
"Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and trown into the fire."

i believe we have eternal life. there are only 2 place we will be heading. HEAVEN and HELL. According to the Bible, if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, there is an assurance that you'll go to heaven, that you'll be with Him.
*John 3:16
"For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son the whosoever believes in Him should not perish but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
"He is the only way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through HIM."

Sadly yes. The world thinks that in order to get to Heaven you have to be good or religious or earn your way there. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Bible says that we are ALL sinners and guilty before God.
Romans 3:23 “ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
God loves us but he hates our sin because it separates us from him. He can not allow sin to enter into Heaven. The only way to enter into Heaven is to be perfect without sin. But we have already established that we are all sinners. So God made a way for us.
Romans 4:8 “ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
He sent Jesus Christ to take our penalty and declare us innocent. All you have to do is believe that Jesus died for you and you will have eternal life in Heaven.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
1 John 5:13 “ These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that you have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
To say Jesus died is history, but when you say Jesus died for me: that is salvation.
God Bless You.

If you don't accept God as your Lord and savior, then yes you will go to Hell. But God sent his only son to die on the cross for us (ALL of us) so that we can be saved and he rose three days later. We all deserve Hell, but God made it possible for sinners like me and you to go to heaven and spend an eternity with him. All you have to do is believe that Jesus died on the cros and rose three days later. And also know that your a sinner. And God will save you, so you don't have to go to Hell.

If you deny God and do not accept Him as your Lord and Savior before you die, the Bible says you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

You have been invited to come to Heaven by the bride and the Spirit in revelation 22:17.
Jesus Christ died for your sin so that you can come there. It is your decision to believe in Him or not.......There are two choices, Heaven and Hell. God will not make you come to Heaven if you do not want to. Please choose Jesus.

Yes. You have to be perfect to go to Heaven and since only Jesus led the perfect life, He alone can pay the price to get you into Heaven.
