How is it suddenly just if it's god?
Yeah. I saw that video before. The difference is that God didn't just create a bad situation, put us there, then decide to save us from it. He created a good situation, put us there, then we blew it for ourselves.
No according to the Bible he created Adam and Eve and they blew it. Since when is it just to punish people for the crimes of their parents let alone their remote ancestors? Or do you believe that all people commit crimes so heinous that eternal torture is just? Frankly, I don't even believe Stalin or Hitler deserve eternal torment. Eternity is as they say a very long time.

Find me any analogous situation where you would say anything even remotely like sacrificing your own son to get someone else out of prison was a just thing.

Precisely. According to you and the Bible he made the rules. So it is just like the video. Hmmm?

And the U.S. government isn't forcing you to pay taxes, it's just that they'll lock you up if you don't. Right? Except that they will let you out of prison eventually and they probably won't torture you.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
