> We don't want to see our loved ones cast into eternal damnation, that's why.

What will you care? If the view that atheists go to Hell is correct, then there's likely only two possibilities for Christians:
1: They go to Hell too. In that case, you've got better thigns to worry about than someone else goign to hell.
2: They go to heaven. Since Heaven is meantt to be utter bliss... the eternal suffering of others will be of no consequence. If a denizen of Heaven is the slightest bit disturbed, then Heaven ain't Heaven, and the whole theology comes crashing down.

> Eventually the law of entropy wins, the universe burns out like a candle, end of story. Total meaninglessness.

Saddest thing in the world: someone who needs to have their "meaning" spoon fed to them. Meaning is what you make of it.

The redeemed of Christ live eternally with Him.
In that case, you've got better things to worry about than someone else going to hell.

You're finally right about something. Heaven is utter bliss, so those in the lake of fire
will be remembered no more, as if they never existed.
But they do exist now. And there is still time to change their eternal destiny.

Saddest thing in the world: someone who needs to have their "meaning" spoon fed to them. Meaning is what you make of it.

Nice try. Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it.
