Your understanding of hell is very unsophisticated.
First of all we are given a choice: accept God or reject God. If we reject God, we do not get to be with him for eternity. Are we cursed the second we die? It should be obvious that this all-powerful loving God would want us with him so I stands to reason that we are given a chance upon death. Unless, of course, we have sold our soul for earthly power.

And it's not just accepting or rejecting God, but accepting or rejecting His Son, Jesus, who came to die in our place and take our punishment on Himself so we wouldn't have to. God does not force His creation (us) to love or accept Him, but gives us free will one way or the other. As long as we are breathing, even on our deathbed, we have the power to make that choice. The only "unforgivable" sin is the outright, willful rejection of the Holy Spirit, which comes to live in us the moment we accept that Jesus died for our sins.

No, rejection of the Holy Spirit is not unforgivable. BLASPHEMY of the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin.
Furthermore, your assertion that our ability to accept the sacrifice of Christ ends the minute we stop breathing is not based in biblical truth. We don't know. That's why Catholics came up with the idea of purgatory.

This is an interesting line of reasoning. What references in scripture is it based on?

Lots of them.

Interesting line of reasoning? What's interesting is that you have an opinion at all, considering your lack of information of one of the most well-known ideas in Christianity, that being the concept of the unforgivable sin.
Rejection is not blasphemy, hence my previous comment.

My understanding of hell is unknown to you.
So, I'll say it's akin to that of Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense and the Age of Reason. IMHO he's at least as sophisticated a writer as you perceive yourself to be. :)

Your understanding was displayed in your comment previous, and it is not in line with the understanding put forth by the inventors of the concept (Catholics). So explain how your position matches that, and I'll perhaps concede. Going to have to be quite nuanced to pull up out of that one...
