We know the Apostles died for their eyewitness testimony, and people don't willingly die for what they know is a lie. So the burden remains on you to find a naturalistic explanation for their eyewitness testimony in various group settings.

Jesus with His Father and the Spirit created Hell because for free will to truly be free, you must have the free choice to eternally separate yourself from God and that domain is called Hell. It should not be a place full of roses and pleasurely delights but commensurate with your attitude against your Creator.

Would Jesus do what? No, Jesus would not do what Hitler did (killed 30 million) whom you follow in your quest for natural selection along with Stalin who killed 40 million and Mao who killed 60 million. Jesus never killed anyone like your atheist leaders.

The OT mentions Hell lots in various ways, e.g. Dan. 12.2 proclaims, "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt." Here are some more verses,

Think how evil you are that you would rather live in that place of eternal torment and separation from God than subject yourself to the risen Lord who fully proved Himself to you. Truly you are a bad person. All those who receive eternal life (today) can never lose it, for those who gave their lives to Christ truly are kept and God obliges. This is what it is to be a Christian: "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10.28). Anyone who thinks they could lose salvation as a Christian was never a Christian since that is not what a Christian is. A Christian is by definition kept for eternity. Hence, any who claim they entered into the faith but admit they are not Christian now actually never were Christians ever.

Of course George Washington said that and mentioned Jesus elswhere too, completely consistent,

"The Hon. Continental Congress having been pleased to allow a Chaplain to each Regiment, with the pay of Thirty-three Dollars and one third pr month -- The Colonels or commanding officers of each regiment are directed to procure Chaplains accordingly; persons of good Characters and exemplary lives -- To see that all inferior officers and soldiers pay them a suitable respect and attend carefully upon religious exercises. The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger -- The General hopes and trusts, that every officer and man, will endeavour so to live, and act, as becomes a Christian Soldier defending the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country." – General Orders, (July 9, 1776) George Washington Papers at the Library of Congress, 1741-1799: Series 3g Varick Transcripts

"The Commander in Chief directs that divine Service be performed every Sunday at 11 oClock in those Brigades to which there are Chaplains; those which have none to attend the places of worship nearest to them. It is expected that Officers of all Ranks will by their attendance set an Example to their men. While we are zealously performing the duties of good Citizens and soldiers we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of Religion. To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian. The signal Instances of providential Goodness which we have experienced and which have now almost crowned our labours with complete Success, demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of Gratitude and Piety to the Supreme Author of all Good." – General Orders (May 2, 1778); published in Writings of George Washington (1932), Vol.XI, pp. 342-343

"My ears hear with pleasure the other matters you mention. Congress will be glad to hear them too. You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do every thing they can to assist you in this wise intention; and to tie the knot of friendship and union so fast, that nothing shall ever be able to loose it." – George Washington speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs (May 12, 1779); published in The Writings of George Washington (1932), Vol.XV, p. 55
