Why then would (He) condemn the vast majority of his 'most beloved' creations to eternal hell for nothing more than not believing in something which ultimately cannot be shown to be true on any level?

not to mention those who simply were born into or follow another religion...

...also based on nothing more than faith

Definitely. I don't believe in hell in the sense that everyone else does. Hell is what I create on Earth by making decisions based on self insted of trying to be of service to my Higher Power and his other creations.
I also believe that my God loves me unconditionally; that nothing I can do can make him love me less. The obstacles in my life, and there have been many, are only to make me stronger.

Yes He is.
Your interpretation of God is really unique. Not sure where you're getting your doctrine, but it isn't from any religion I'm familiar with.
Uncounted billions have been shown at some point, on some level, that the basis for their beliefs are true.

I'm really sorry that you don't understand. The reason life is so hard now is because Adam and Eve screwed up. He gave us the chance to have a perfect life, but it just wasn't good enough for them. Humans have to always have MORE. God gave us plenty of proof, LIFE, for one, beautiful sunsets, the moon and the stars. Open up your mind. Don't close it off just because God isn't standing right in front of your face. He does love us, and he wants us all to go to Heaven, but he gave us free-will. We have the choice. Just like with your own children. You have them because you want someone to hold, to love. You know they are going to make mistakes, maybe even completely disown you when they get older, but you still bring them into this world anyway, because you hope that they will always love you and be with you. Same with God.

To teach them the importance of Christ.
But dont worry, every knee will bow and every tongue confess. All in hell will be pulled out to bow before him when he sets up his earthly kingdom
If He wasnt loving he would have never sent His son...and I would have been outta luck forever, with my past full of drugs and porn. He is the God of second chances.
Thats just my interpretation of the Christian view. Nothing personal.
Thanks for your question

You have my God confused with the sheep that lack a sense of humor.
He is loving, but different from anyone elses, and no I do not have proof, but why do I have to justify my beliefs to a non-believer?

I'm not sure this answers your question ... but years ago, my uncle said something that's stuck with me my entire life ...
"All I know is that when we die, we're going to find out that God won't be nearly as hard on US as we are on EACH OTHER down here on Earth."
I believe with all my heart that it's true ... we judge each other and hate each other ... while in the end, if you're trying to be a good person and try to treat everyone with kindness, God is going to reward you.

Of course Jesus is loving!!! Faith is about belief its not about that seeing is believing bs. Jesus doesnt want anyone to go to hell. Its your decision whether or not you want to go to hell. Its not just believing its about accepting him and being baptized and trying to be Christ like and also helping others in need.

Yes my God is a loving one.
Why else would I choose to let him run my life?
My God is a god of my understanding, and not one of a particular religion

God performs miracles all the time that otherwise could never be done if it wernt by his hand. that is the proof. just think about medical miracles. those are by him. you'll get ur ultimate proof on judgement day.

You're not talking about my God. You're talking about the made up Christian God.
My God does not ever judge or punish anyone.
Love and blessings Don
