I am afraid of people who think they know what God is, and would send me to hell themselves for not thinking along their same exact, hellishly narrow lines. God I do not fear.

Well said.

According to the Bible - If you go to hell God, or anyone else, will not have sent you there. It will be because you have chosen to go there.

Well, I don't choose to go there, but plenty of religious people give me hell (literally, in their mind) when they try to coerce me with threats of everlasting punishment for not burying my own perceptions of truth, and accept their mythology as "fact" or the "word of God". Besides, if God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, he will have known when he created any "sinners" that they were on their way to Hell (why didn't he just spare them by not creating them and the future He knows will transpire?), and therefore, unless we rebel against what God has made us (??? doesn't sound too wise if you are religious - what's the point?) with all our strength, God will have sent us to Hell before we even knew our first word. Oh, right, we can all be spared everlasting hell if we simply say the right words and pledge allegiance!
