Hell is not some vacation place. The Bible describes it like this: pain, sarrow, lonelyness, torment, gnashing of teeth, crying and weeping, A fire that is unquenchable.

It is because they won't allow themselves to believe God. They won't allow themselves to submit to Jesus and they won't listen to us to learn about Jesus and His love for them.
The Bible is God's written Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
“Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)

People willingly walk into hell: pain, sorrow, loneliness, torment, crying --- every day of their lives.
We do it in ignorance and lack of self-awareness. Some of us choose to live in hell every day. Hell is self-designed and self-prescribed.
Sometimes, we are simply unaware that there is an alternate way of living.
Read Don Miguel Ruiz's book, "The Four Agreements"... Or St. Exupery's book, "The Little Prince".

We might as well ask why somebody would willingly avoid Nirvana, willingly disconnect from becoming one with Brahma, willingly want to disgrace Isis and be eaten by the giant monster, or any other threat that religions state is a consequence for not following their rules. Why should I take your word over theirs?

If I walked into hell, I would evaporate and blow away. It would be like a spiritual cleansing. I'm not going to let one more person push me against the wall with that threat! I am not afraid. Whatever will be will be. Tralala.

The bibles discription could be describing ANY psycho ward on earth. Or Maximum security prison. A yeast infection. You get the point.

Because a God who can create a hell is unworthy of worship, a monster of (pardon the pun) Biblical proportions.
My morals are more important to me than air conditioning.
I would prefer Hell to worshiping the monster God that Christians and Muslims worship.

you know i think it has nothing to do with being willing to go to hell, i think it has more to do with .most do not believe it exists.ifyou dont think something is there then you have no reason to worry over it. and then you have those who believe it but would rather burn in hell then worship a god that created it... it saddens me. many blessings

That's only to suggest that the Bible is correct and that if there is a Hell, it is exactly how the Bible describes it. Let us not forget that the Bible was not written by God himself, it was written by many men, coincidentally? the same men who thought the world was flat. Mortal men who had never been to Hell.

You tell me. You are the one willingly walking into it.
Change your path now, and praise Allah.
Or do you need to send up a burnt offering to YHVH?
Maybe it was that you needed to sing the praises of Vishnu.
Dang, just which of those versions of hell is it that is the true hell.

You realize that the bible is one of many religious texts, right? And your religion just one of many, and so is your god? And most people do not believe in your heaven or your hell?
The only reason you believe in this particular god is because your parents told you it was real.
