I don't think so, Godschild.
Not that it matters anyway. As hell is just an tool to get people to submit to Christian dogma.

So God was in charge, but his son was dead for a couple of days.
Also, before, he was screaming "Father, why have you forsaken me".
But they are one.
Spectacularly stupid.
And, might i add...
If a was eternal, I could sacrifice everything from time to time just to show off, not giving a single fuck.
It`s not sacrifice if you lose absolutely nothing, but go tell that to the schizophrenics who hear voices and see dubious lights.
If it`s true that our species is alone in the universe then I`d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

... to cross-examine the witness, which is what we're doing. What you're proposing is basically "yes, I am a witness to the murder; you need to be one, too." Sorry, but that's not how these things work.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Even if there is a hell and the Christian God exists, it's not up to you to judge who will go to hell.
But we have been tasked to point out the signage and direction of Hell that is indeed in most people's lives.

So how can a father be his own son? How does that work? For that matter, how is your one god three people?
You see, the Bible only says that that's what they are -- it doesn't say how it happened. I'm asking you for your views on this unexplained mess of personalities and physical expressions and so on. The body nailed to the cross, wasn't that guy your god? How was he on the cross and on the "throne" at the same time?
(Protip: I know the theology. I'm asking you how you comprehend it in your own head).

Ah -- so unlike God'sChild here, you believe that the guy on the throne was not his son on the cross? That makes a little more sense, truth be told.

What does it mean to you on the throne, is it the toilet or a big chair, or what ?.
In absolute and total control.

In the end it only matters what God thinks.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

One wonders why some people would accuse him of only caring about himself, despite the claims that he loves us.

You have no idea what the theology is if you did why ask. God reveals himself in three persons. He is able to be all three at the same time, ie. the baptism of Jesus. If you are so interested in how God accomplishes this you should ask Him.

God is a title and not a name, as in God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God the Son died on the Cross and God the Father remained in Heaven.
