The crimes of a sinner are not eternal, they are committed in a finite reality and lifetime.
Logically if God is eternal than he should be able to forgive during all of eternity, not just during a person's lifetime. This is why the whole idea of hell is laughable with a "loving god". Once you go to hell there is no chance of parole, there is not even a chance to repent. That is sick. We have a better system of justice right here on earth than this eternal God you love so much.
And if you describe hell as just being in a "place" separate from God this whole dogma of choosing where you want to go during this lifetime makes no since. This is the version hell my church went with. Yes, it sounds less scary, but it's not.
I myself would rather live with truth than lies and if "God" is truth and the "word", whatever that means than surely even an atheist is actually unknowingly choosing to go to heaven(it's not real by the way). What version of heaven and hell are we going with today?
Really the entire difference between atheists and the religious is that we can't believe dogma given without any evidence. Anything dogmatic and authoritarian does not deserve worship or belief. Truth is not dogmatic. Truth is ever changing in the patterns around us.
There is no evidence for a personal God so I cannot believe in it. There is no evidence for even an impersonal God. Maybe after we die our "energy" stays whole and we move on to another place. This is like anything else that is probably not true the same as those unicorns I refuse to believe in.
