I simply don't get it...i mean Christians are always the first to talk about pity, and love, and acceptance...How can any Christian not go completely mentally insane about the idea that most people they see every day are going to burn forever in agonizing pain...the guy you pass on the bus, the co-worker who you talk about sports with...
I don't see how anyone can stay sane with that kind of fatality that the idea of Hell implies...
How can you be okay with anyone not sharing your beliefs ? How can you have someone you love not believing in God and not do every single thing you can to convert them ?
Is it that they just don't really believe it, or is it that they are entirely devoid of human emotions ?
Ive been told that my soul will be destroyed in hell and I will cease to exist, so I said then what's the problem then?
Even if you did go to hell, atleast it wouldnt be cold.

So you could jump off a building and fly? you did say all things are possible. Name one impossible thing having faith has made possible for you?

No, I won't.

Now I'm pretty damn sure there is no hell. Since an all knowing god + hell = faulty logic.
God is all knowing, he designed and created everything (as you claim) and so he also knows what's going to happen. He is behind everything. So if he designs someone who does wrong as he designed him to and knew what he'd do, he sends that person to hell. God knew that was going to happen all along, he designed it that way. This is faulty logic.
Here's an example: I create this artificial life form that is capable of feeling and thought. I designed it to be a certain way, I know what will happen, I knew long before I created it what would happen. It does wrong, for which I knew it would and yet instead of blaming myself, I blame my creation, and yet I designed and created it, plus I knew what would happen. So it's my fault, same with god. He designed and creates everything and being all knowing, he knows the outcome. It's faulty logic to harm/punish your creation for which you designed and created and even knew it's future. He must've set it up this way. This makes him a fucking idiot.
All knowing god + hell = faulty logic.
It doesn't add up.
All knowing God + free will + Hell = perfectly logical.
How is living your life according to somebodys rules free will? And he was all knowing and knew who was going to be bad, then why not start them off in hell?
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
