For god so loved the world, he sacrificed himself to himself to pay himself for the freedom of beings he himself made and gave the ability of consciousness and curiousity, then punished them for using it, and had to "save" them from himself when all he needed to do was say oh okay I forgive you instead of damning an entire population of people for thousands of years, to eternal suffering?! Unless god is held to a standard even higher than him--this doesn't make any sense.
Hell IS in the bible. There's no question about it. Why would an all knowing god (knowing the outcome) do that knowing that the mass majority of its creation would end up suffering for all eternity? I used to placate myself by believing god would surely never leave all of the sinners in hell for all eternity--but, the bible is very clear on this point. And its for this reason, yet another reason, I cannot rectify myself with the Christian god.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
