If everyone goes to heaven, why bother having anything that isn't heaven? Why even bother having the world we live in?
The idea of hell never really bothered me. I've always assumed it was a necessary part of having a heaven.
The details (what is hell like, how does someone get there, why do they stay/can they leave) have been imagined a lot of different ways. It doesn't seem that important.
Without heaven most peoples vision of the afterlife is usually either bleak or not all that different then the world we live in, assuming they believe in an afterlife at all.

I'm not sure if you're saying you are currently Christian and find it troubling or that you found it troubling when you were a christian.
Doesn't Christ pray for everyones salvation?
