I agree with the Pope that there is no Hell. He is off about the "no punishment" - we don't just waltz into Heaven under a shower of rose petals. God will send many to the Lake of Fire, but it is to save us by refining us, burning away all that cannot endure the fire, which is Godfire, not Hell Fire. God is a refiner of men, burning away the dross, tares, chaff, wood, hay and stubble, until only the gold, silver and precious stones remain.
Remember this: we ALL get salted with Fire.
Based on a Native American Proverb…
A tribal elder is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he says to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two dogs. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continues, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asks his grandfather, “Which dog will win?”
The chief simply replied,“The one you feed.”

But my point is are you even going to be able to stand before Him? You use the word 'I' like it means something. Why do you think you're a better parent than God. Are you all knowing? All seeing? If God sneezed it would wipe out the universe. We can do nothing but submit and accept or die. Do you not know God?

I'm not a Christian and I'll never follow a god who apparently specializes in fear and persecution. That said Christians can be awesome people and there's plenty of decency practiced within their religion.
