That is the only choice, keep heathens out of the themepark. The compulsion is the paradox of no longer having a choice. Creation of place A necessitates there's a non-A place for A to be a place in the first place.

Not choosing is still a choice and the onus is on individuals with volition for their choices or lack therof
Quote:I don't think that you are. I think that you have a commitment of faith to excusing your god for anything it's done. The lord of creation is beyond our judgement, after all.I really am open. I first have a commitment to myself and flush out any irrational, bigoted or non-congruent thoughts. My faith has to do with evidence and experience. It doesn't excuse anything and I may not understand everything, or subjectively morally agree with everything, it's perfectly fine to question God. The Bible has many examples about it, and I try and do it when necessary, if not often. If you believe Creating Hell is immoral, please cite some reasons that have not been rebutted or answer some rebuttals. I'm still having trouble seeing your side of it and would like some assistance.
-and that's fine.....
.....but it shouldn't be impossible to realize that this is what it is. If you're going to do it, then do it, and just be unapologetic about what you've done. Like a god, and his lava cesspit slide.
Tada. What's the problem?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
