God is a consequentialist
#2
RE: God is a consequentialist
When you talk to people, and socialize, isn't there something magical about the whole choice factor and living in this world with all it's problems? Everywhere, no matter how bad things are, friendships are formed...and people have a bond, and get to know people, people whom will have an impact on their personality. Life is a rich experience, no matter how much we suffer. Even the relationship of the little children with one another in Africa trying to survive is a magical thing. Endless peace in the future, was this life worth it? Was developing personality in this world worth the trouble. I think it is. Life no matter how bad it is, is good.

As for hell, while I don't believe in it, Christians and Muslims see it as a necessary act of God's justice. This contradicts the loving merciful side they like to portray but that's another discussion. God knowing the future has many problems (why create evil people when you have infinite potential good people to create for example), but that's another discussion.
