Ah, a breakthrough! Perhaps god is irrational. We humans being rational therefore can't be blamed for not believing. Therefore our lack of belief should have no consequences if god is just. Therefore even atheists go to heaven.
Boom. You just mind ninja'd them man.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
