OK how about this, back to the very start:
You cannot prove your god exists.

I'm not trying to prove that a god doesn't exist. What I said was it cannot be proven that a god does exist which akes this thread pointless because if it can't be proven that this god exists, it cannot be proven that the hell as described in the bible exists.
If it doesn't exist the the case that, "Most will end up in Hell" is a statement which at the very least, is putting the cart before the horse.

I don't get why the OP is full of Bible quotes with no substance or explanation as to why he/she thinks this or created the thread and yet it still gets a handful of stars.
I'd like to hear or read more OP unless you have in the pages that followed.
Not everyone is so eager to become a submissive, whimpering coward.
Some people stand up for what they think is right.
Pastors were involved in half of 200 cases of "witch children" reviewed by the AP, and 13 churches were named in the case files.
Some of the churches involved are renegade local branches of international franchises. Their parishioners take literally the Biblical exhortation, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
"It is an outrage what they are allowing to take place in the name of Christianity," said Gary Foxcroft, head of nonprofit Stepping Stones Nigeria.

'Unbelievers' as you call them, pounce on such a ridiculous statement in order to make fun of it.
Christians should prove hell exists before they tell everyone that's where they're going.

I have to strongly agree here. And, while you are at proving the existence of Hell, how about proving the existence of some other things, such as Jesus? Heaven? The Bible?

It's easy to prove the existence of the Bible. Head to your local bookshop or big box retail store and in the religion/spirituality section you'll see books labeled HOLY BIBLE on the front and side. Open it up and it has text inside. There you go the Bible exists, you can can physically pick it up, hold it, look at it, and read it. It exists.

What if a person can't read, because your God has placed them in some bad circumstances?
Will they go to Hell for not reading the Bible?
I should hope not, because it would be God's fault.

The greatest trick man ever pulled was convincing himself that all of his flaws were personified by a mythical figure existing outside of his body, thereby removing all responsibility for his stupidity.
