God tortures non-Christians just like the Nazis, and God is all-powerful so don't talk about Satan when God allows Him to exist in the first place. If you support a righteous God then you wouldn't take the Bible literally.

If someone was being raped or murdered or tortured right in front of your eyes and you didn't do anything...well, you and God would have something in common.

God is just a meanie, isn't he? Shame on him for making Adam sin, and we all deserve Heaven and a life on this earth to match.

False equivication. God will torture non-Christians, but not "just like the Nazis." The Nazis' murderous ambition to torture Jews was motivated by a distorted sense of what was right. They believed they were doing good. But racism is not good. And genocide in the name of racism is worse.
The God of Christianity however, is the source or fountain of perfect justice. He always judges with perfect righteousness. And what he judges, is in fact...good. Of course I know yourt response will be "thats your opinion" or "The Bible is outdated or corrupted" and you will at once suppress any consideration of my response. The most I can say is if you do not want to consider the testimony of his written word, you will have to tell him yourself.
By the way, the existence of evil does not contradict the existence of an all powerul God. God sovereignly allows evil to continue for a time because he will use it to bring greater goods. To adequately rebut that would require you to demonstrate that you know that no possible good could come from allowing evil to persist. But you cant do that because you do not know everything there is to know.

God does not torture or want torturing of any person.
God allowed Hitler to live just as he allows you to live. It was Hitler that had a choice to make and he made it. God will make the choice for Hitlers eternal future the same as He will make the choice for your's.
Christians have suffered more than any religion.
Look at the inquesitions or Christ himself?
The majority of the 12 deciples were put to death just as their leader.
Thousands upon thousands of christians were put to death by the leaders of Rome for hundreds of years after Christ rose to heaven.
If Christ never rose from the dead why did all these innocent men women and children allow themselves to be killed. "mass suicide"?
Christ did rise, this life is temporary, suffering will happen until the end of this world and if you do not take the Bible litterally you are indeed foolish.

Here we go again !! Why is it that you people always blame God ?? God gave us wisdom to know right from wrong. He instilled in us the brains to choose Good over evil God does not torture anyone or thing. Go back to the old Testement and read how satan came about. That will change your mind about satan. You will be judged for not using the wisdom that you contain. When a person chooses satan over God, then you walk down the path where we will be Judged. I feel like your seaching and groping for the right answers. So I will pray for you tonight and hopefully your inner Spirit will guide you and help you to understand. God does not torture. We humans allow torture upon ourselves. We just have to make sure to choose God. God Loves, not hates. Read: John 3:16 For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son To Die, and Whosoever Believeth In Him Shall Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt Be Saved !!

Actually god rises above the appellation of "monster". He slaughtered every single human on the planet at one time (except for 8 or so on the ark). Hitler could only DREAM of such power.

Hitler was an evil human. The Nazi's where evil followers. All anti-Semites, racists, murderers etc are human. G-D has no control over such matters. G-D created the universe and the earth. He created humanity. He didn't creat conscious. Thus for the evil done by the benign, they will ultimately answer to G-D, the creator in death.

I suppose you truly asked this question to make a point but the point it made is that you have problems.
If you don't believe in God then move on with your life and be true to yourself....it's not necessary to belittle people who do believe in him.
By the way...I'm an atheist.

People challenged Hitler's evil, millions died. People challenged God's sovereignty and holiness (because He was/is God, and can do as he pleases), millions died, including Hitler.
Go ahead...challenge him. He will either dispose of you or you will have a Damascus road experience, and be one of His ambassadors (if you have Christian friends, ask them about Saul of Tarsus who became Paul).

"The only difference between God and Adolph Hitler is that God is more proficient at genocide."
