Many people (in fact most of them are catholic or non-catholic christians) believe in hell because they wanted to see their enemies and the people they despised e.g. world leaders and dirty politicians to rot in hell.
An authentic Christian will always wish for the salvation of all. This has been clearly demosntrated by St. Maria Goritti when on her death bed was asked if what she would like for her murderer and (attempted) rapist, she answered, "I want him to be with me in paradise."
To believe that God punishes the sinners in hell denies the idea tht God is merciful, loving, kind and forgiving.
To believe that people who died in mortal sins go to hell denies the idea that God is just. What would happen then to non-catholics who do not go to confession. How about those who would normally repent but died before they were able to so.
To believe that people in hell suffers physical pain and torment denies the truth that the soul is purely spiritual i.e. physical feeling is not proper to it.
To believe that many people would go to hell because many of US are sinners is an insult to God's creating power. How can an all knowing and all powerful God who created people in His own image and likeness had actuallY created lots of craps.
IF HELL IS REAL AND GOD IS LOVE THEN THE ONLY REASON WHY HELL EXISTS AND WHY SOME SOULS ARE SENT THERE IS THAT BECAUSE GOD LOVES THOSE SOULS. MAYBE THEY ARE NOT HAPPY IN HEAVEN AND BECAUSE GOD WANTS US ALL TO BE HAPPY HE CREATED HELL SO THAT THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE HEAVEN HAS ANOTHER OPTION.
