No my friend, you are taken in by false beliefs.
God is Not father of humans. God is neither male nor female and has no children.
Humans think they are masters of Universe as they are "children" of God. This is wrong.
The earth sustains other species just as it sustains humans. Humans are just another species.
There is only one difference between humans and animals, God has given humans much higher cognition and intellect, as humans are the only species in which there is a possibility to understand God and to progress through elevation of soul. However God is never found in materialistic objects. You will never know God by going to a temple, church or masjid.
"Rama" and "Krishna" are not "God" as God never takes birth on any planet.
Jesus in not son of God as God has no children.
Mohamed is not God's messenger as God does not send any messenger. God has no need as He can achieve anything directly through boundless powers.
Humans have taken the wrong path in this age (called "Kaliyuga" in Sanskrit, age of machines, dark age).
Humans have forgotten the path of Yogis and have taken on a path of mindless materialism, a path of destruction.

The mind cannot see. The eyes see what is here to see and what is to see is the Glory of God - God made visible.
God is what is seeing the image that is made of God.
There is only what is present.
Presence is the one and only. It consists of the unseen presence and the seen presence. The Father and son are one.

I'm a soul with a body. I believe the soul is anchored in something much bigger, and the body is just a vehicle along for the ride until it gives out. What the purpose of that arrangement is, I couldn't really say. Perhaps to limit perceptions, perhaps to allow for different perceptions and experiences.
If there is a lesson to be learned from it, I suppose one day we will all learn it.
Whether we're right or wrong is immaterial to anyone else, because each has to find his own path, and it's not anyone's place to force them to march along a path not meant for them.Discussions are fine - that's how ideas are distributed and evaluated - but the instant force is applied, it's a whole new ball game, and one that never turns out well.

So the real question is, which do you fear more? Burning in hell for all eternity or ceasing to exist?

Neither.
Death is inevitable for us all, as is whatever comes after. There is no point in fearing the inevitable - one would only live in a state of perpetual fear, waiting on the inevitable shoe to drop, knowing he can do nothing about it at all.
That sort of fear is irrational.
It's coming for us all. Just prepare to embrace it, whatever it is.
