From a biblical perspective, separation from god due to our sin is the root cause of all the evil in the world. In essence what you're saying is that people would rather stay in a fallen world full of death and pain and sorrow rather than devote to god and avoid all of that once you reach the other side.
I don't understand the arguement of "we are seperated now and things aren't that bad so I'll just stay seperated from him" because it's followed by complaints about how bad this world is.
If people wanna stay in this world full of rape, murder, genocide, sorrow, loss, tears, etc for eternity, I guess they're entitled to feel that way. I just personally would rather go somewhere where all that doesn't exist. But not everyone believes in jesus like I do so that's that.
And really from the Christian perspective god doesn't "send" people to hell. We send ourselves by our sin. We in essence tie gods hands.

His message of prosperity is really annoying at times. It makes it difficult for me to tell people how the faith really is because they reply "well Joel Osteen says if I do what god wants I'll be rich and have everything I want. I did all that and I'm not rich so god isn't real". The name it and claim it gospel is really counter to the real Christian message.

All Im saying is that, given the choice between this world and giving up their life for the possible hope of being with God when they die, a lot people will choose the devil they know over the devil they dont.
However, given the choice between fire and brimstone and God the choice is very different.
