God gives us freewill, the ability to choose right or wrong. Then if we choose wrong, he punishes us by sending us to hell. Realistically nobody can truly know the consequences of their actions. We cannot truly understand what it is to go to Hell. In fact god allows us to believe hell doesn't exist. We are like children to him and cannot truly understand for ourselves why we must do what he says. He is powerful enough to prevent us from making the wrong choice, and powerful enough to prevent us from having a choice. So why is it our fault if we make the wrong one?
Think about it this way.
If you give a 6 year old a gun, and tell him not to shoot himself with it. The kid cannot truly be expected to understand why he cannot. Therefore if he shoots himself with it, the blame falls on us for giving him the choice in the first place.
So what right does god have to punish us for something that is his fault in the first place?
