You probably think that you "do" know considering you think you know everything else. But that's just your nature I guess. How is it ignorance not to believe? It is just as ignorant to believe in such. When you can comprehend that such things may not exist then you will be on your way of denying gnorance not just adding to it.
original quote by I SEE YOU:
We have different views which is wonderful because if we didn't then we would go nowhere in life.

iseeyou,
from what i've read, and what i've come to understand, if God were to give mankind a 'glimpse' of hell, men would then modify their behavior out of fear and only to avoid it... thus eliminating the 'free will' aspect.

Also again with Jesus, was he really son of God?

Plus when I look around about all the death that happens in the world I get a little scared to be honest. I wonder if it could happen to me at any time.

...I mean if there is a God and I am trying to learn secrets of God and that is a sin it bothers me.
KJV Bible:
Romans 1:18-21
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold (suppress-nkjv) the truth in unrighteousness;(19)Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
(20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Fritz Ridenour, in his book So What's the Difference? states on p.30:
"At best we can know the truth only partially..."
Ridenour:
"Neither do Christians claim that there is no truth in non-Christian religions and other world views. There are many truths that are common to all people. Nor do Christians claim that they are immune from cultural blinders or other errors. Error and foolishness is a common human problem, even among Christians."
