Proverbs 16:4

[Doubting Thomas]

You keep appealing to a sense of justice, fairness, and love and saying God is not practicing these. Where are you getting these from? How are you determining what is just, fair, and loving?

What's fair and just about a system of "Love and worship me or else I'll torture you for all eternity?" How is that fair to those of us who just want to live our lives without any religion, and when we die just enter into a state of oblivion? I never signed up for the "love me or be tortured" deal. And according to Christians, there is no opt-out option. Everyone is subject to the rules simply through the process of being born. What's fair about a "gift" being offered which has such strings attached? How can that be a gift at all?

If God were just, fair, & loving, he wouldn't torture people for eternity for simply not believing in him or worshiping him while they were alive, especially since he never gives anyone any evidence that he actually exists. Nor is his holy book specifically clear on what it exactly is that he wants us to do. So it's not fair of God not only to force everyone to accept the conditions of "worship me or be tortured" deal, but to "worship me EXACTLY the way I want to be worshiped or be tortured, and you have to figure out the details of exactly how I want to be worshiped. Even if you think you're doing it right, if you do it wrong you lose."
