Ok, a slight twist on Pascals wager.
Is it beter to still exist, but do so in hell or
or would you rather not exist after you die.
(this is just me, I'm not speaking for anyone)
I would rather still exist, yet be in hell (I doubt I will have any nerves to feel pain, and no ears to hear gnashings of teeth)
so if there is a choice between living my life as a lie, yet being a good and kind person, and then being in Hell on a technicality (once I am dead I will know if god exists, then my sin of disbelief doesn't exist anymore), I'll say; 'sorry, right you are then' and then go to heaven.
or pandering to a man-made concept on the off-chance that it wasn't made up just to control the masses and extort money and power off them.

I do not have the luxury of eternal combustion in the warm place. Being a brahmin, this body will be burnt on earth on death. The ego A.V.R. dies with the body. I wish the poor devils the joy of whatever is left.
The atheists ( yours truly included) will consider hell a veritable 'heaven' if it can be guaranteed that the others would all go to heaven.
As an aside, with all this eternal conflagration going on, can we not tap the energy to solve some of the energy crunch we are having?

An suggestions-set like that's the reason we've such a large style of dumb proceedings in this united states of america. you're making what your existence is approximately. you sense the guilt of sin on your existence and you blame it on God (a God which you do no longer have faith exists.) So if God does not exist. who's fault is it that there is plenty soreness in the international? who's fault is it which you're unhappy with the existence which you probably did no longer ask for? I say take what existence gave you, and do what you are able to to make it extra beneficial.

you would rather burn in hell, then not exist. If you don't come to the knowledge of the truth, that is what you will be doing, and it will be far worse than not existing. If hell, and heaven are real, which by the way, they are, how good to you have to be not to go to hell- living a kind and good life will still get you hell, without Jesus. I chose to live my life in thanksgiving and praise to the ONE who died in my place, and then show His love and kindness to the world. Why can't you do both? This is just a guess, but if you admitted there was a hell, a heaven, and a God, then you would not be able to live in denial of your sin. I had to admit my sin- so I am not POINTING FINGERS here- there are 3 pointing back at me, I am a forgiven sinner. I am not perfect.

Luke 16:22-24 (I would say I would rather not exist)
The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell,[a] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So 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.'
Sleeping sounds much better or a dirt nap or whatever.
Thankfully though, I am a believer.

If hell was a reality and an option to non-existence. I think I would choose non existence.
Torture over prolonged periods of time will always result in humans begging for death. I would hate to be in that situation for eternity, it is such a cruel concept.

I'd rather not exist after death. I'd choose none-existence over the Biblical heaven too. Eternal life doesn't appeal to me.

How can they burn in Hell if they don't believe in it? They are wanting proof or logic that God, Satan, Heaven, Hell, etc. exist in this world.

I don't think its a choice. Its more of a reality. Believing in something because you are afraid of what could happen if you don't believe is not the best option.

It's still a false dichotomy: "hell" and "non-existence" are not the only two possibilities.
