wouldn't he understand why I am not sure if he exists or not?
And when judgement day comes wouldn't he see that when he resurrects me that I would at that point in time know he exists?
Why would he send people to hell or zap them out of existence just because they don't know if he exists or not?
What kind of a god would do such a thing?

If you don't see resurrected people on a daily basis, you have the right to question existence of any god.
If there is one judgement day, why did some religious people hold signs saying "Judgement Day is Nigh" in year 2000 (believing the number is the end)...when it did not happen if their god(s) talked to them with the truth?
Why did some priests jail Galileo (this is actually world history) when he tries to prove the world was round?
...to answer you, I have no idea if there is a god or not. Still waiting for the believers to convince me by arranging a lunch with the guy or something solid.

Sometimes a person's view of God depends on what point they are at in their life. When everything is going well a person finds God obtrusive and cruel. But when a person is at the end of their rope, they have nothing left and they know they have ruined their lives and the only thing that waits them is misery and perhaps the nagging feeling that this misery will continue on into eternity, God starts to look much more friendly. In fact He becomes your only choice. He's the only one that can help you. At this point you are left with 2 options. Ask for forgiveness and salvation, or stubbornly refuse His help.

The True God DOESN'T do such a thing. Each is judged individually according to his own knowledge. Until a person knows that there is a God, it is not possible for him to choose whether to obey Him or not. That is the only basis for judgment. Each is judged by his own words.

Yes he does understand. God does not send people to hell for not knowing if he exists or not.

Well, our God is a loving God.
With being christian, we want all of you to be saved from going to Hell.
God sent his son to die for the sin of the world.
This means that God sent his Son down to earth who was put up on the cross bearing the sins of people.
To become a christian, when we pray we ask for forgiveness of our sins, and God forgives us.
No matter, how bad the thing you have done, he will forgive you as long as you ask.
He wouldn't send people to Hell, he's trying to save them from going there.
I hope you will make the right choice, God bless :)
