The concept of Hell is the primary reason why I could never accept Christianity. The best contemporary explanation of Hell is torment beyond imagination, ad infinitum. Now, I cant think a single person past or present that would deserve that.

Of course, it's debatable for a handful of people, Hitler, Dahmer, and others, as I can understand the desire for punishment to have an especially nasty supernatural twist.

However, what about Joe Atheist? Moral and good, but not "good + God", yet it's unclear if he gets to spend eternity with the company of serial killers.

How have some of you Christians reconciled this issue? What are your thoughts?
