BULLSHIT! Sorry, but why would the all-powerful and all-good creator of the entire universe create such a place and then cast souls into it? If he's all powerful and doesn't want people in eternal torment, then why can't he just get rid of Hell and not send anyone there?

Quote:That's why he sent his son Jesus to die in our stead. By giving into our selfish desires we choose and deserve eternal torment. But he takes our sentence and gives us eternal life. All we have to do is accept the gift.

And this is why God's plan is all fucked up. Instead of just saying, "You know what? I don't want to send anyone to Hell, so I'll just abolish and demolish the place, and never send anyone there to be tortured for eternity. Hey, I'm all-powerful, so I can do whatever I want," he came up with this convoluted idea of "OK, I'll knock up this virgin down there on earth and have my son tell people some things to do and get a bunch of people to follow him, but have the jealous church leaders have him killed so that I can remove this curse I put on humanity because the first two people I put down there disobeyed me even though I knew they would. But I'm not going to make it easy for people to find this path. I'll have people invent other religions to follow and make it so the only way people can keep me from torturing them for eternity is by reading and believing in a book that's extremely hard to figure out. Then I'll have the followers all keep bickering among each other which is the best way to worship me. But I'll never appear to everyone in person so they'll know exactly what I want of them."

It would be extremely easy for God not to send anyone to Hell if he really didn't want to.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
