That is not the proposition the author put. Let me remind you:

"The biblical description regarding hell and those who go there is either true or false."

The unspoken premise behind that is there is only one interpretation of scripture regarding hell. Many Christians have read the same Bible as the author, prayerfully, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in understanding, and come to the conclusion that death is not eternal (miserable) life.

I don't care to debate the hell issue. My reason for posting was the express my opinion that the author is dishonest, disrespectful of Christians who disagree with his interpretation, does NOTHING to bring souls to Jesus, and only causes distension among Christians.

That bears repeating. A doctrine such as this IS NOT a salvation-issue.

Christ and Him crucified IS.

The Biblical description is pretty clear. Whether this is meant literally or metaphorically is up for debate. The way it is described is not, insofar as I can see.
