I don't want to be dismissive, but a couple of songs on a radio aren't that much of a sign. Music is man-made and, since most of the people in your country are Christian, the probability of Christian-themed music being played on the radio is very very high. If there are other signs, I would love to hear about them, because, honestly, any sign of the existence of any deity and life after death would be welcomed for me, since I'm struggling with a very skeptical view on all things spiritual.

As for the existence of hell, it's not very certain even for Christians if it exists. It's not mentioned in the Old Testament (Jews don't believe in it) and I'm not sure just how much the New Testament describes it and who's doing the description. Also, according to the Bible, nobody has to be stuck there forever. Let's suppose you get there for not being a Christian (something not even most don't believe anymore)- at Judgement Day, you get another chance if you repent and accept God.

I rejected Christianity in my youth, mostly because a lot of mean selfish people around me, who weren't trying to follow Jesus as a role-model at all in their lives, called themselves Christian and even bullied me for being part Jewish. Then I got to meet some good Christians and my opinion changed. And a lot of atheists who were just as anti-semitic as well.

So my advice is:
-make sure your problem is with God, not it's "fan club"
-make sure you understand Christianity enough
-if you feel that God is sending you signs, then just try and ask him about your real issue: is there a hell and does anyone go there for all eternity?

Most of my Christian friends don't believe that non-Christians go to hell. They just don't. They believe that God is love. I don't have any answers for you, but if you can provide some answers for me I'd be grateful! :)

I haven't read the entire thread but from what I gathered your main concern is hell, not the songs you thought were signs to convert you to Christianity. I used to be Christian and became a Druid. Am I going to hell? No. Is there a hell? I haven't read any scripture that claims there is one and I've read and studied more than the Bible. I haven't found any scripture that mentions hell as taught in Christianity.

In Christianity's history, fear was used a lot to keep the general population in control. Guilt was also used. None of that is in the NT and the teachings there are based on love such as forgiveness and charity. If anyone tells you you're going to hell, that is a judgemental statement and certainly a non Christian thing to say as no one truly knows where anyone will end up in the Spirit Realm.

As for signs to clarify any answer, I'd need a much better indication than songs for deep questions such as hell, converting to any religion or faith, etc. To gain better answers for what direction to take, it requires looking within (meditation) and perhaps prayer if you want. Such things shouldn't be taken lightly by thinking signs contain messages for what you need. I think it's a good idea to look beyond such signs and dig deeper.

I hope this helped to address your concern.

Maybe not necessarily telling you to be Christian. But maybe it's signs or your subconscious telling you to do the universal good thing. Or to start living a universally "good" life.
