God Loves You, whether or not you think He is there.
God has given you UNCONDITIONAL LOVE---with worth and value.
YOU need to BELIEVE that YOU ARE VALUABLE TO GOD.
If you are angry at God--God is on your side, anyway--
He will NOT GIVE UP ON YOU!!
God sees you as His valuable creation!
Your value is that GOD LOVES YOU---not where you have been---what you wear--what you do--what you drive--
UNLEARN THOSE!!
CHANGE YOUR THINKING!!
THIS is not hell.
The thing is---after you have 'gone through' what you are going through--you will be able to look back and say, "God was there,.."
He works out ALL things for our good.
ALL things.
ALL of them.
Does your thinking (your attitude toward your life) put you in Heaven on Earth or Hell on Earth--you decide,............

Is this how you see our beautiful planet...as a hell hole? I feel blessed to have life..... To live here amongst the people, nature art, music. MY life here affords me the opportunity to help people and make a difference...
I'm sure that you believe that you are going to heaven, but of course you have to die to get there which suits you just fine.
I know that my life is a gift that I should share with the world. My death would serve no one. God lives and works through life, not death. I'm sure this is not what you were taught but think about it, Why would the creator of all life, devise a method of belief that made death more attractive than life? It makes no sense.

Perhaps because they don't have the same beliefs about the world and beyond as you do? If a person doesn't feel that the world is an unrelenting hellhole where the only possible escape is death (and then only for the select few), don't you think they might draw different conclusions than you, and choose to live their life differently?
This isn't rocket science, people - everyone has their own beliefs and values, and not a one of them is so objectively convincing that other people must fall into line behind them or be considered _wrong_. Get used to it.

You know not everyone believes in hell, I'm not experienced enough in my religions beliefs to give an accurate answer to why we don't believe in hell, but in my opinion, why would a merciful and loving god want you to burn forever.

when you die you don't go, you STOP.
Considering all thoughts, emotions, and memories reside in the brain, which stops functioning at death...
Remember what it was like a hundred years ago? It's exactly like that.
This scares some people so much they make up stories about a magical fairy granting people eternal life.
We call these stories "religion".
---
why believe in a baby-murdering, kitten-drowning, slavery-condoning, genocide-commanding, torture-loving god?
Nobody has ever provided any evidence that any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Because hopefully people like you will be in heaven and hence not around to ask stupid questions like this. What are your motives behind this question? Surely not enlightenment into gods almightiness but it seems this isn't a question but more a form of ridicule.

I don't understand either. Some people do not care about life. Once you are in hell, it is too late to change your evil ways.

The whole point of life is to survive, pull yourself up by your fingernails out of whatever hell you are in to live another day and make the claim you are alive, and can see and conquer the next frontier.
