You do not need to believe first; you need to try to and want to believe. Once you've done that, then you can accept the grace of God, and then believe.
As you can see by how this discussion has gone, we can see that you would have rejected all of it anyway, since you cannot see it.
Rejecting reality does not make you more charitable. It only makes you ignorant. Hell is real, and it is what the Bible claims it to be. Whether you like that or not does not matter, since you have no power to change it.
Charity is more important than faith and hope, but they are all important to get to Heaven. Lack of any of those is a mortal sin.
I'm not trying to blackmail you; I am only stating the truth. Don't use a word that you don't know the definition of. I am not trying to defame you in any way.
For someone who claims to not like this conversation, you seem to really want to continue it.
Christians, do you believe decent non-Christians will go to Hell forever?
