"Yeah, go ahead and do whatever you want, you have free will, just remember, I'm going to let you suffer more than you can possibly imagine." The whole idea just seems ridiculous to me the more I think about.
God doesn't send you there . . . you make that decision (and trip)all on your own. He makes a valliant effort, whether you choose to accept and believe in Him is your "free will". Do you have children?? Well I do, and I know that I love them very much and try to guide and teach them the proper ways of life, however, they do not always do the right thing. That is their choice, and they get to face the consequences of their actions, just as everybody does.
If god is suppossedly all-powerful, and he judges people and decides that they go to hell to suffer for eternity if they don't worship him, than wouldn't that make him a Terrorist? He makes demands, and promises an eternity of torture for those who do not meet those demands.
Or god doesn't exist and religion is just a disturbing fairy tale that only continues through the repeated brainwashing of children.
