The first question is "How do you know that these people actually go to hell?". Because Church says so? And the church has done it's fair share of mistakes in the past so it sure as hell is not perfect either.
I only believe in one sentence and if that would not separate me from the damned...
I may not believe in Church itself, but that does not mean that I also do not believe in God almighty. Even though I usually try to back up my reasons with scientific proof, science does not stand anywhere near perfection. We may find out how we were made, how the universe was initially created...
