Nice username by the way..
I don't want anybody to go to the hell, but while I don't fully understand why people must suffer for eternity I accept that God' s morality is on a level that we mere humans can't fully understand.

Hmm.. Somehow I imagine that you don't live in e.g. in Saudi-Arabia. Funny that a person brought up in a Christian environment should turn out Christian. You haven't prayed hard enough to our lord Zeus in you heart.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I would first want to know if the Bible is a fair and accurate representation of his nature.
If so, I would not want anything to do with him.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I have thought about that much, but when I pray and feel God's mercy and beauty in my life I have peace In my soul.

Acknowledge his/her existence? Sure. Worship? Fuck no. Stupid cunt doesn't even know the cure for leprosy.

And yet, you still have that username.
I'm curious, what kind of response do you expect atheists to have when you accuse them of being 'sinners' and tell them they are going to hell? Do you think they'll just suddenly go "oh no, you're right, I don't want to burn forever in fire and damnation, I denounce my lack of faith! I will get on my knees and pray!".
Really?

You have sacrificed your own morality to a book written 1000's of years ago by superstitious, Bronze Age barbarians.
You know, deep down, that no one deserves eternal torture for finite crimes. Yet, in order to maintain your faith based beliefs, you are forced to try to justify the actions of the immoral deity depicted in the Bible.
What a great thing that such a deity doesn't actually exist. Too bad so many of his followers do.

I sometimes have doubts but I feel that when I see the world so broken that perhaps humans are corrupted. The world could be better if people followed Jesus's example and thought about how Christ loved them so much that they do not have to burn in hell because of his sacrifice.
