tackattack the fact that you do not believe in eternal torment is part of the reason why many of the issues probably don't bother you. I agree that if in the end we are all "redeemed" if you will then a lot of the problems with God, at least from a moral standpoint IF he were real, would be solved.
I am curious about what you think on a certain issue though. If there is no Hell/eternal torment is there any punishment for ignoring God/not giving him worship? If there is no punishment for it why exactly should we concern ourselves with what God wants for our lives? Why not just live in a peaceful manner and enjoy the life we have here?
