I agree with most of what you write, but not with "and from hell there is no escape once you enter it".

I agree with most of what you write, but not with "and from hell there is no escape once you enter it". There is written that as long as the silver cord is not broken, and man has not utterly destroyed himself beyond redemption, he can work his way upward and cleanse himself. Not that it is easy, but one can get hold of good and compassion and pull himself out of the swamp. Never forget there still is a realm of benign beings that have gone this path before us and know what is around the corner and have found compassion for the suffering of others. Exactly because they have met the same troubles in their former existences and overcome them.
On "once your religion or sex has brought it on you" I would remark that there is not the most subtle experience in our life that is not made of or the result of our own doing. If you were right and I would be wrong the Buddha and the millions of other buddha's of all ages never could have reached nirvana and then you would really be stuck in the nightmare of a false religion. There you find the error of Sartre who was so proud to say the "evil is in the other" or something of that kind, and could not accept it was his own blindness.
