What a weird reason to pick a religion.

I was an atheist for a long time because I didn't want to worship a god that burned people in hell forever for temporary stuff. He defined hell as departure from god.
Then I realized how many liberals who thought that would want to burn others in hell forever for things like misgendering, any comment they deem as misogynistic, etc (and they still want worship). You see how many trans people and women want men to worship them (trans men want normal men to admire them (aka worship))?
That realization made me realize that is god all loving? No; but he's more loving than the left.
God bless America and God Bless the First Amendment.
There are no scriptures in God's inspired word, the Judeo-Christian Bible, that speaks of literal hellfire torment. Literal hellfire torment is a false doctrine that has been used by religious "leaders" for centuries in order to control the masses.

Gradual burning in hell appears less painful.

Yes...One should always engage ones brain before putting ones mouth into gear, and be nice...Always good advice, but regularly ignored.
My interpretation of your Greek original...Obviously not written by a Jewish bloke named James...Debby often makes the same mistake.
Predictably is important in a conversation.
