I'm going to pick on you some since you responded to me.

Are you telling me the only reason you're "good" or try to lead a admirable life is because if you don't you'll be thrown into a fiery hell for all eternity? Rather a selfish reason to be good, isn't it?

What happened to doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do? This is why I say only children could believe in hell because only a childish mentality could accept it is the compelling reason for being "good".

No, I'm 'good' because God wants me to follow Him. I love Him so much that I want to obey Him and please Him as much as it's in my power to do so. I've never been afraid of hell for some reason, perhaps because I knew I'd never end up there, but I do worry about others I know (and even those I don't know) who may end up there for all of eternity because of their refusal to receive Jesus Christ into their lives.
