Do you really think it's fair that God would send me to Hell, just because I no longer believe he exists?
Is this really fair?
Is eternal punishment really necessary?

Nope. Especially since atheism isn't a choice. One doesn't choose what is logical to them. If something is illogical to you(such as god) then obviously you can't believe it unless you force yourself and lie to yourself. It's like trying to believe the moon is made of cheese. You can't choose I believe that.
If god really wants everyone to believe in him, he'd have provided the means to make it logical to everyone. Obviously he hasn't since people like you and I don't find it logical that he would exist. We don't choose to find him illogical, it just happens. Just like you don't choose what tastes good to you, it just happens

God has sent so many signs of his existence...and besides, what is the point of ALL of this? Of ALL of existence, other than as a test for humanity? Only God knows what's in your heart and can decide what to do with you. It's not for me to judge.

The writers of the Gospels used some wicked language to describe man’s punishment for behaving like a Nazi. Hell has had a long and checkered past in the church. A hell consisting of a master demon poking at you for eternity is not logical. It was helpful in the Dark Ages and with extremist fundamentalist Christians to keep them going to church out of fear.
Really, it’s a rejection of God and his sustaining love and a decision to what you want. It is then when we start to collude with your own progressive dehumanization.
I believe God takes into account the failure of churches to attract new members, the scandals in the Catholic church and post-modern rationalism.

Fair, God is. He requires that all his children put their faith in him. What God's judgment is it's rule.

Its not our business that's with you and God. No human is equal to him so non of these answers are true

Yes its fair and yes he does exist. I know he exists because I have spoken with him. So therefor it is beyond debating if he exists or not as I know he does. So at this point I would recommend figuring out where you went wrong with your relationship with him and continue following him.

Of course it's not fair. No reasonable deity would claim to be all-loving and then punish based on what your religion is.

Fair or not, that would make for a very thin-skinned, petulant, childish individual if God tortured people for not thinking he's real.

If you don't believe He exists, how can He hurt you? He can only influence you if He exists.
