I've heard this argument a thousand times. Unfortunately, it's entirely incoherent with everything else Christians traditionally teach. If God doesn't want me to go to hell, and I don't want to go there, then who is going to force me to go there? I would love to live with God forever if Christianity were the truth. So if I find out it is true when I die, then great! You say that God won't throw me into hell, and I certainly won't do it myself, so unbelievers have absolutely nothing to fear if we follow your logic.
Of course, it seems pretty unlikely that you actually believe what you wrote. It is most likely that you believe it will be too lateafter I die. My fate will have been sealed, so that when I finally have PROOF of the truth, it will be too late to change my course (how perverse is that?). That's the standard Christian teaching. That's why there's all the weeping and gnashing of teeth at the FINAL JUDGMENT that determines who gets thrown into the Lake of Fire. Does that sound like a place anyone would "choose" to go? Of course not. You attempt to rationalize the doctrine of hell is a total and complete failure that makes a mockery of God as the Supreme Judge. It contradicts both logic and the traditional Christian teachings.
