Before I ask my question let me point out that I do believe in God (Deist) but I'm having problems with the Christian view of hellfire. Now I do understand that God gave us free will to do what we want to do, and also believe that free will and God's knowledge do not conflict. BUT in the same time God is omniscient. So He knows every single thing in this world, big or small, good or bad, and of course He knows the past, future and present. That means the time God creates a human He already knows what choice would this person make, without forcing him to choose anything, and He knows that when He makes this person he will make a bad choice, subsequently leadig him to hell. So God knew that this person will eventually go to hell, but nevertheless made him. I'm not implying that God could make mistakes, as I believe He knows exactly what's He doing, but the fact that made people who He is certain will make bad choices and go to hell, and this contradicts with the fact that God is merciful
