Even though he created us and KNEW from the beginning how we would turn out. On the other hand, he set up this whole system of eternal torment in the first place, didn't he? Then he allowed thousands of other religions to spring up, punishing people who choose the wrong one.
Is that how it works? If you live a moral life but aren't 100% perfect, you deserve eternal torture because you didnt BELIEVE the right way.
You're actions count for nothing, but your beliefs count for everything? How fair is that? How can anyone deserve eternal punishment to begin with?
God made the rules here (supposedly), believe the right way or you get tortured forever. He created hell, he allows sould to go there, he decides the rules for getting saved.
There are lots of religions in the world, pick the wrong one and you pay for eternity. Sounds fair to me? Where does the love come in?
Oh, free will. Right. "Do as I say or get tortured forever" that sounds like free will.
