So every God-hater that ever lived ends up in the same place, left to their own devices. And that is Hell.

How about the idea that once you die, you're just dead. You cease to exist. You don't "go" anywhere.

Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Of course not. Same thing after you die.There is just oblivion, that's all

What I can't understand is why that is so frightening to people that they must create myths to stave off their fear of the inevitable.

To me, wanting to live forever seems to be the height of egocentricity.

Fine. If that were true. I don't believe it is. Dr. Maurice Rawlings, a cardiologist, has written several books about this encounters with death-bed and near-death experiences. Here's a link to some Amazon reviews, pro and con. Now, I've never read Rawlings books so that's not the reason I believe in Hell. I have felt the presence of Jesus which led me to believe the Bible is a true testimony on these things and the Bible describes Hell and a judgement.

I don't remember being an infant either but I certainly was one once. :-)

Ah, another faith based statement, unless you can prove there is no afterlife. This is one of the dogmas of atheism, further evidence of it being a religion.
