That's... Ironic.
You assume you get a say in defining who and what God should be. You have created a God who can not send anyone to Hell, you've tested this God found Him not to exist, and become an 'atheist.' Yet you hold on to the idea that you get to define who and what God is supposed to be.
I don't know, but what if...
God is nothing you can imagine on your own... What if you and you friends are wrong and God is a little more complex that what man can make up, and does indeed allow people to goto Hell if they so choose. IDK again, but what if your idea of God and who and what God is supposed to be from the very beginning is what is corrupt?
Meaning it seems you've created a god that you could control by lording over him the defination of 'omni-benevolent/all loving' and try and threaten him with your abandonment of your faith and through your attempt to strip him of the title God, just because you can't wrap your mind around the concept of Hell..
What if.. God is a little bigger than the god or your specific idea of what a 'god' should be?
Is he as God subject to your standards, your rules?
