Maybe the Christian god describes hell as being so bad because he just wants more people in heaven and hell isn't such a bad place, but simply, the "other" place?

Woaah. That's a nasty bit of though. Suppose there are multiple gods. And if the christian god is NOT one of them? Then what does that do for everything after "maybe the.."?
And?

There is only one God, there is no room for anyone else. Hell, for one thing, doesn't exist...yet. When God comes again to bring up His followers, the wicked shall be burned in an unquenchable fire. Each person will be burned at the same time. The more wicked they where, the longer they will burn. The reason why everyone will burn at the same time is because that is what is fair. If a person died 2000 years ago and they went to "hell" for some thing as small as petty theft, would it be fair that 2000 years later, a mass serial killer goes to this "hell" and burn for 2000 years less than the thief? This is why Hell will be when God comes back. The once perfect world that was corrupted will be burned fully while the righteous are in heaven for 1000 years. In that time Satan will be burning and when he is wiped of the face of the Earth, God will make a new Earth, just the way he intended it to be.

If you read closely in the early text of King James, there are other gods. And in the bible, there is a division of the lands, into twelve tribes. Each to their own rights. I don't believe in hell my self. I believe Satan or evil will be punished, but not us. I think we will remain in the grave until the end of Judgment and then rise in good health, reunite with our families, and repopulate the world. Why would God created such a marvelous place it only to destroy it?

Well, the God of Abraham is often cited as being a jealous God. He commands that there should be no other Gods before him, which suggests competition.
All of the other Gods seemed to have gotten along for the most part though. The Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Syrians, and Mesopotamians tended to adopt each others Gods and beliefs without qualm.
People really shouldn't dictate what fate awaits those outside of their own religious tradition. Just worry about yourself, and you will be fine!
(It's refreshing to see when people think for themselves, like you have.)

Not really answering a Question here, More of a comment. I have pondered that very question. that is why I refuse to single myself to any specific belief. What people perceive as good and bad/ heavenly and evil is nothing more than how the chemicals in our brain interpret them. How can an animal kill without any remorse? Anyway I have my views of what is wrong and right but I'm not going to tell you that your beliefs are wrong or right when there really is no answer only popular opinion.

The one, true God is infinite, therefore, there is no room for other "gods"!God bless!
Hell is an awful place, because souls there are seperated from their creator for eternity! Hell is full of hate, suffering,...

You better find out the truth because you are going to one place or the other.
Theories will be little comfort if they prove to be wrong.
