Quote:how about the obvious truth. God Invites the world to goto heaven. again truest form of altruism, to be given such an oppertunity having done nothing to earn such a gift, yet the opportunity is yours. Now who goes to heaven/moves on to his perfect creation accept his invitation. In a similar manor when we do not choose to go to heaven You/we elect Hell. God simply holds us to our choice.
Proceeding on the premise that Heaven is better than Hell, then - if God were truly altruistic - EVERYONE would go to Heaven, regardless of their choices. God makes getting to Heaven conditional, which is not altruism.

edit: Come to think of it, if God created everything, then he created the choices we make AND the consequences of those choices. Thus (coupled with omniscience), God has always known who is and is not going to Hell. The unavoidable conclusion is that God continuously creates people knowing full well that some of them are going to suffer eternally.
