Of course not. Atheists seemingly have a terribly poor grip on anything biblical.
Rethink who has a "poor grip" on the bible here. Especially since you're supposed to be a Christian.

"God forbid you be wrong."
if i am wrong, and god is not love and is in fact an ashole, we are in deep crap anyway.
"Man's genocide is evil, yes. God's is not."
so does that mean you would kill a list of people if god commanded you to?

Anyone who rejects the Lord Jesus after He suffered and died for your sins, deserves to go to hell. If you think you are innocent of any wrong doing, then blame Satan for your dilemma.
I have no problem with hell, but I do not believe it will be eternal suffering.
-Removed-I believe that there is a second death, as to what that entails I'm not sure. I presume it is the worst thing that can happen to someone.
As far as the symbolism in Revelation, this is from a spiritual perspective. For example, we are told that stars represent angels and so forth. These symbolisms are used to describe what is happening on the material world we call earth. However, the second death and the lake of fire has no relation to this material world, so why the symbolism?
I'll ask you again to make your case, what do you think that the lake of fire and eternal punishment represent? Again,it is YOU who are trying to make your case, not me.
To date all I hear from you is that you don't like it, so you refuse to believe it.
Personally, there are a whole lot of things I don't like as well, such as their being a devil. But to deny what I don't like seems daft.
