I believe Hell is eternal separation from God.

Can you imagine entering eternity, knowing there is a place of infinite joy and contentment, where all pain, sorrow and discontent are forever gone. And then realizing you can never go there.

I'll dive back in for one comment. YOU'D better be right. Deep down, you're aware that there is almost no chance that the god of the bible exists. Personally, I have zero doubt it's fictional. I'm not risking any more by not believing in him than I'm risking in not being Muslim, or not believing in Apollo.

I get this one life on earth. And I try to live it to it's fullest, enjoy each day, and not harm others. If you're wrong about god (and I'm certain you are, just as you suspect you are, deep down) you've wasted a whole lot of your life "believing" in nonsense, and presumably sitting on a church pew. You probably waste a lot of time worrying about things that just don't concern me, like what gay people do, premarital sex, eating shellfish (j/k), etc. Most christians seem angry and fearful about what the world "has become" (it's become more tolerant of differences). I don't have that anger or fear. As long as you're not hurting anyone, I couldn't care less what anyone does. I don't need to save anyone, or hide anyone from my children.

So, what I'm getting at is, you KNOW you get this life. I'd be very careful about how I spent it and not count on having a backup of eternal bliss in a fantasy land that was dreamed up by illiterate goat herders in a middle eastern desert two thousand years ago.
