Not me. Sorry.
God said that Hell exists, and I believe Him.

I don't believe God would allow any person to suffer for eternity. The bible says the wages sin pay is death. Death is enough. The bible also says that God is love. True Christians know that hell is not some everlasting fiery place where you're tormented forever, but it's the common grave of mankind. A state of inactivity. There is no life whatsoever.

Not here - a just God has to allow for punishment. God is not only good, He's just. Why do we have a system of punishment in civilized society? A human judge would not be considered just if he judged a convicted criminal should not face any punishment for his crimes. It always made me wonder why that judge would be considered corrupt, but God is being unfair/unreasonable/overly harsh when there is a place of eternal separation from God for those who did not want the forgiveness He offers.

Indeed He does allow it. As a matter of fact, Jesus Himself
said the following:
Matt 10:28 Be afraid of the one who can destroy both
soul and body in Hell.
Also Luke: 16:23 about the rich man that died and was
buried. In Hell, where he was in torment and he called to
Abraham to have pity and send Lazarus to dip his finger
into water and cool his tongue.
Don't forget, when Jesus comes again, He will come as
Judge. What would he be judging if it wasn't who goes to
Heaven and who goes to Hell?

Yes the Gnostics dont believe an all Loving God would allow Hell, or a devil. To us it makes no sense

God says it exist plenty of time in the bible. How in the world could anybody believe in god and believe what the bible says to not believe that hell exist?

I'm not a proper Christian, but I do belive in God.
I think that if God is so forgiving, then people in Hell for all of Eternity doesn't make sense.
Hell might exist, but that punishment is not eternal.

If there is no punishment for sin, and God allows everyone into heaven, then He would be a bigger monster than you could ever imagine!
If God allows sinners into heaven, then heaven would quickly become as corrupt as earth!
If you witnessed your family murdered and at the trial the judge said "I am a good person, so I will not punish this murderer", what would YOU think of this judge?
To be good, God MUST be a righteous judge, but you want to gloss over your sins and get away with it with no punishment!
For God to be good, there MUST be a hell (unless you think that in the previous example, that it IS a good thing for the judge to release the person who murdered your family back into society, then what does that say about YOU?????)

The concept of a fiery torment in hell for sinners predates Christ himself and was never a teaching of his or his early disciples.
Scriptural proof: Ezekiel 18:4 - The soul that is sinning, it itself will DIE; Romans 6:7 - He has has died has been ACQUITTED of his sins; Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 - the dead are conscious of NOTHING... they don't see, feel, hear or do ANYTHING.

Yes! Me. And I believe in God, and know Jesus, and am fully aware of my guardian angels. No, God didn't do that and never would. He manages things way differently than our ancient ancestors concluded. That doesn't mean they were stupid or anything, it just means they were less enlightened and therefore younger in the growth of the human race than this day and age.
