Question:

This doctrine of universal reconciliation sounds to me like a teaching someone made up in order to advertise a 'God' who is soft on sin and more acceptable to the world.

Answer:

On the contrary, any 'God' who will permit sin such as cursing, blasphemy, and bitterness to endure eternally would be soft on sin. For only such a compromising deity would invent an endless hell of ceaseless cursing and blasphemy to co-exist with his holy nature forever.

But thank you for being honest. As long as you're absolutely certain that your own version of 'God' is solidly based on the original language of Scripture-and all that is prophesied in Scripture-then believe what your heart dictates to be true. Would you please write us a testimony explaining how your meditations on the Lord's judgments (as you understand them) have increased your love for Him? How have they inspired your heart toward deeper worship? The psalmist David also sang of God's judgments. Do you have any songs to share that would increase our faith? Please share them if you do. I say this with all respect and sincerity.
