Even our loved ones (who are good people but atheists) I don't want to forget them and have my will to remember removed from me. And if I remember about Hell, well I won't be enjoying Heaven. A dilemma eh?

How could any one be happy in heaven knowing there is a hell, seems very selfish to me.

Hell is used by people who want to maintain power - to keep people afraid and subservient. There are many recorded examples of people having death experiences and they all tell the same or very similar stories regardless of their culture, religion etc. As far as I am aware, there has never been an account of anything Hell like. I really don't think you should waste any time on worrying about it.

All evil will be burned up in the purifying fire before YHVH makes all things new. Those who choose not to accept the offer of Salvation must be eliminated, for they have chosen not to become fit for eternal life. YHVH will do the most generous and loving thing He can. They will NOT be tortured "forever" the Catholic church to the contrary notwithstanding!

No, its not a dilemma. We view sin from mans view point. When we see the true nature of sin, from Gods view point, When we see, the strips upon Christ's back for that sin, we we see those who rejected his love, the love that he paid for with his own death, then we will see what sin truly looks like. Then and only then, we we hate it as much As a Holy God. We will not feel 'sad' but repulsed at their behavior.

A dilemma?
No, not really.
The Bible is pretty clear on this subject. Read Luke, chapter 12, for example.

I believe we will see with perfect clarity, the spiritual matters that are hidden now. Looking back over my life before Christ I would have no problem understanding my punishment for rejecting GOD all those years. Much like telling someone a gun was loaded and they say " that's nonsense! watch this! *BANG*".
