Does Hell make sense?

My wife was at the store this last weekend and saw an old friend of ours. She is mentally challenged. Her 2 previous children were taken from her because of her lack of competence and ability to care for them.

Now she has 2 more children, and my wife saw one of the small girls in her shopping cart. After visiting for a few minutes, my wife walked away pondering in thought; "That child will grow up under the care and guidance of a mother who is unable to give her children proper understanding, spiritually and physically. This child will go through life with numerous handicaps, and many in Christianity conclude her final outcome will be burning in Hell for Eternity if she does not accept a specific doctrinal view of the Bible".

This makes absolutely no sense, and this one example is only the beginning in a World full of dysfunction, where people have no choice of where or who they are born too, leaving them to the wolves of human fate and circumstances completely out of their control.

Hell is also a guessing game, full of maybes and what ifs, and setting the bar of who, and who doesn’t go there is impossible.

I find it interesting that many people in Faith are unwilling to accept we may have a severe Translation problem in our current Bible(s), as cultural and language influence from ancient Rome deeply affected early Christianity as we’ve seen with the Catholic Church. The Afterlife, including Hell and a place of severe torment dates back to ancient Egypt, long before the Christian Hell, and it seems our mirrored image of Damnation and torture flows from ideas of pagan origin.

It appears to be more than obvious, Eternal Damnation, where people are cooking in an inferno of flames forever because they didn't make certain choices in life, that this type of brutal punishment was bred under the guise of Religious corruption to control people with fear; That makes sense!!!
