Have you ever thought about how extremely depressing the doctrine of Hell is? ?
The Bible says that the majority of people in the world will go to Hell. That means that most people will spend eternity burning in the flames of Hell with absolutely no relief or comfort. Can you imagine anything more horrifying than that?

The Bible doesn't say any such thing. It is God's will that every one of His beloved children be with Him in Heaven for all eternity. The only ones who will not be there are those of us who absolutely reject His offer of eternal salvation, and reject Him as well.
What's more depressing is that people decide to go there.
The good news is: you DON’T have to go there.
Shows how strong sin is for them to refuse to be parted from their sin, does it not?
By that token they must be absolute monsters.
Just simple reason.
I believe in a different kind of Hellfire than what you said. I also believe in different kinds of Heavens and I believe in my Lord Allah. I believe in His Perfect Qualities, Asma Al-Husna and more. If you know more about the Lord, and the more you understand about Him and about His Paradise, His Hellfire the purpose of it. The more you'll be focused on what matters. The more you'll remember the Lord's Beautiful Qualities than His Wrath. And believers should run towards the Lord in order to escape from His Wrath and run towards His Mercy. This is exactly what God encourages all, to run towards Him, to seek refuge in Him from God Himself and to seek His Mercy. A believer reminds himself or herself of God's Forgiving-Mercy and always should remember that God is Most Good. How you view God and how you think God will treat you is exactly how God will treat you because of how you view Him and it is better to remember God's Merciful, Compassionate Qualities because His Mercy is greater than His Wrath. As as well as the fact that God didn't create anyone just to punish, He created human beings to have mercy upon people.
Hell in both testaments is the grave. Hebrew sheol and Greek hades. No burning there. Thats the lake of fire, Greek limne pyr.
Jesus died to keep you out of there.
Revelation 21:8 KJV — But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 2:11 KJV — He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Its a fairytale place, nothing at all to worry about.
No, I haven't. At least not since I was 9 or 10.
It's even worse when you understand that Heaven is just as bad. Eternal life is something that impresses people that have no clue, similar to thinking that "having all the money in the world" would be a good thing.
Yes, it's very disgusting.
Thankfully, it's all BS.
