There is no hell stop stressing yourself. If God doesn't think yu qualify for everlasting life then you've lost itself, you lose LIFE which is everything and enough punishment in itself.

No loving God will burn his creation in everlasting life and you insisting there is hell means you are insinuating that he is cruel.
God is Love !

...death should be out of it....cos death on its own can't happen without a factor like
Women
Wine(alcoholics including hard drugs)
War( including any form of fighting)
Worldly materialism (unguided quest for them)

These are the most dangerous things/words...leading to unnecessary death...the only necessary death should be the one factored by age n degeneration of body organs
