A question about hell

[Chad32]

I have already experienced what's on god's table. I have a father that demands utmost respect, despite treating me horribly, and utmost obedience just because it came out of his mouth. There is no questioning. there is no calling him out when he acts like an asshole. Step too far out of line, and he beats me. This is the childhood I grew up with. If I didn't like one authoritarian father that I can't disagree with without being beaten, what makes you think I'd like another?

This is my problem. I hate my dad, and the way god acts a lot of the time reminds me of my dad. My dad can be nice when everything is going exactly how he wants it to go, and quickly becomes violent when it doesn't. He knows I don't hear too well, and I have some form of ADD, so I'm not all that attentive, but he doesn't care. He'll punish me for messing up anyway. Though honestly he doesn't do it as often nowadays because I've moved out and I can call the police if he comes at me with a belt or something. Now that I have some semblance of power, he restrains himself more.

This is why Yahweh is so worried about Humans gaining power in the story of Eden and the Tower of Babel. This is why rulers like to keep the peasantry on a tight leash. As soon as you have someone who can fight back, you're less inclined to slap them around. Power corrupts, but power has to bend to equal power lest it lose that power. On a bigger scale you could look at the US and Soviet union during the Cold War.

You think I don't know the kind of person your god is. I do. I lived with him, and I don't like him.
