I always thought the self immolation practiced by some Buddhist protesters was a pretty good argument against the existence of hellfire. If a person can learn to control their mind to the point that burning to death doesn't perturb them, I imagine all the people who have been burning in hell for thousands of years have most likely gotten used to it.
Great post by the way. I think Christ has a lot to offer if you don't get hung up on the eternal torture stuff.
