Theists can convert to atheism, and atheists can convert to theism, it mostly happens during personal emotional traumas, for example a parent might leave the faith that'd shun their child for being gay, similarly a parent might arrive at faith in order to find comfort for their child's death. Reason and logic can help you with seeing the reality, but reality is harsh and not everyone is willing to face it, sometimes the comfort of faith is much more welcoming.
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.
