God didn't put you on this earth your parents did. Start blaming them first and foremost. if you still feel you need to blame someone then God is an easy scapegoat.
God does not send people to hell they send them-self. A person has choices in life. if they make bad or wrong choices then they have to suffer the consequences. God gives you the ability to atone for sin if you do then you don't have to spend eternity in hell. Simple as that. God built a clause in there called forgiveness and all you have to do is ask for it and truly mean it . If you chose not to believe in God then who knows where the hell you will end up but that's your choice also. Remember this. God does not micro manage people. people are in charge of there own destiny based soly on what they do with there lives. You only make it to heaven or hell based on your own merits and no one Else's so if you do end up in hell then you did it and no one else.

Everyone has the ability to choose right or wrong. Should a man who lived his life selling drugs, robbing others, assaulting others be given the same eternal treatment as a loving, caring man who respected others, and helped others in life?
I believe in God and I have a deeper understanding of my existence through my relationship with God.
What makes you think he can't undo his creations?
I was once a money hungry, drug addicted, single mother working in the adult entertainment business...until I cried out in a prayer to him to get me out of that horrible hellish life I created for myself.
Not long after my cry to God, many doors open for me and soon after my life did a 360 turn around. I'm now a very good mother, drug-free, happy, and a college graduate.
God doesn't create sinners, but he helps them change.
BTW no human is free of sin...the goal is to accept our faults as well as others, and to realize we have no control over our lives, and we should seek God for guidance and try to do the right thing.
I'm fortunate to have received God's mercy, help, and love AND it's there for ALL of his creations but we decide whether or not we will accept it. He created us, but allows us to create ourselves further....for the good or worse.
If God didn't give us a free will, what's the point of LIFE????
Suffering and sin are a part of life. If one never encountered adversity how could they grow? Just because life is a challenge (test) shouldn't imply there is no God.
Those people full of blind self-pride, those who say since I can't understand God or see God, have decided there is no God.
If you deny God, why would you care if you would be seperated from God? According to my understanding, hell is eternal seperation from God. God is the love, light, goodness of life. Hell is everything opposite to what God is.
So, why should a creator force one of his created to be in his presence if they don't want to?
I'm really curious why Atheist, who don't believe in God or heaven and hell, feel the need to spend so much time and energy asking believers questions only God knows.
God could walk up to an atheist, grab them by the hand, and answer every question they have ever asked AND they'd still refuse to believe in God.
Whether or not I can prove God exist to an atheist, I know God exists, and he really is almighty and loving...try him with an open heart and you won't regret it.

Perhaps He can, but chooses not to, hit the undo button. As to sending sinners to hell to suffer for eternity, I plain don't believe it. No god worth worshiping would be so unfair. That's punishment out of all proportion to any crime of which humans are even capable, although we have had some horrible villains.

He chose to give us free will instead of making us mindless puppets. With that freedom of choice comes the possibility of making the WRONG choice.
God COULD simply undo everything, but what would be the point in that? Human beings should accept God's wisdom and be grateful for the freedom of will He granted us, not whine that He holds us accountable to our own actions.

The concept of Hell being a fiery pit of torment is not a Biblical one.
Definition: The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohl′ and its Greek equivalent hai′des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge′en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).
“Much confusion and misunderstanding has been caused through the early translators of the Bible persistently rendering the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades and Gehenna by the word hell. The simple transliteration of these words by the translators of the revised editions of the Bible has not sufficed to appreciably clear up this confusion and misconception.”—The Encyclopedia Americana (1942), Vol. XIV, p. 81.
Translators have allowed their personal beliefs to color their work instead of being consistent in their rendering of the original-language words. For example: (1) The King James Version rendered she’ohl′ as “hell,” “the grave,” and “the pit”; hai′des is therein rendered both “hell” and “grave”; ge′en·na is also translated “hell.” (2) Today’s English Version transliterates hai′des as “Hades” and also renders it as “hell” and “the world of the dead.” But besides rendering “hell” from hai′des it uses that same translation for ge′en·na. (3) The Jerusalem Bible transliterates hai′des six times, but in other passages it translates it as “hell” and as “the underworld.” It also translates ge′en·na as “hell,” as it does hai′des in two instances. Thus the exact meanings of the original-language words have been obscured.

i'm an atheist and thoroughly adverse to faith, esp. those that communicate of hell and such places. in spite of the indisputable fact that i do exactly like the quote "let he who's with out sin be the first to solid a stone" to me it tells the god-warriors/non-christian bashers that if there's a god then he will ascertain the sinners destiny, no longer some inbred southern

who's to say a god actually sends sinners to hell yet even exist, and your question should be a statement not a question, even if a god would be Allah or Christ why would he send his beloved children to an eternal damnation, to me that doesn't make sense for a god to create an organism and then scold it to eternal death of pain and torture, it doesn't make sense to me at all, and yes Ive been down that road before, i was a christian for 16 years so i can relate to your asking of the question as i once did myself

Earth is a reality TV show God created to keep Himself entertained. Sinners are just a "twist" to the game.

God does not send anyone to hell. People are in hell because they want to be there. God did everything He could to keep them out of hell including pouting His own Son on a cross in our place, just so they wouldn't have to go to hell. Christ died for all of us God raised Him from the dead for a purpose. To pay the penalty for what we did. and to give eternal security to all who except Him. I can tell you more about it if you like just let me know

According to the Bible, God will soon "wipe the slate clean" so to speak.
The Bible says that "the wages of sin is death,"(Romans 6:23). It also says:
"5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten."
If the dead know nothing, they can't very well be suffering, can they?
