The reason that the hell concept is a deal-breaker for me regarding the Christian god is that I can actually emphasize with people trapped in hell. Where is that empathy in the people defending the actions of that god?
Why do so many people defend the schoolyard bully and claim that the beat-up kid had it coming, rather than calling out the bully?
Even though i dont believe in the fire and brimstone version of hell you are presenting here, if that is how it was and someone like Hitler was there, id have a hard time feeling sorry for him. Or seeing him as a victim of bullying. Itd be pretty ironic to see him as a beat up kid or victim of bullying considering what he did in those concentration camps to millions of innocent people and families.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
