If he was human and not fictional he would be considered a psychopath.

I think you have been talking to too many Baptists, Methodists, Protestant Christians and the such. Here is how it is. God the great murderer? Not in the way your are presenting it, but God takes us when our time on this earth is up, so it would not be considered murdering. "Killing billions of sinners" = Welcoming billions into their eternal glory, that sounds very loving to me. Broil you? Not unless that is what you want. God will give you the eternal reward you desire, which is the reward you are working for right now. Again, very loving. You need to study real Christianity and stop talking to "bible thumpers" and "jesus freaks." Get the facts first, then you will see God IS love.

1. It's not broiling for eternity - it's the results of the broiling that last that long. In other words, eternal death.
2. You don't get that for having the wrong faith, but for not choosing to be in connection with him, the only source of life. Disconnected from life, the only result is death.
3. Why can that happen? Because God allows the freedom to choose hell or not.

God IS love, but he will have to judge sometime. There isn't really a "belief system" with God. He won't say, all Catholics, Baptists, etc etc go to heaven and everyone else goes to hell. I think that he will judge us by out love and obedience to him and his word. There is a reward to those who obey him and punishment to those who don't. Just like in our society today. If you are guilty against the law, you will be punished, but if you do as the law says you will be rewarded. If you have questions on this, as I tend to become a little confusing after awhile, email me. I would be happy to try to clear up something.

God is not the great murderer. That job belongs to the Great Liar, Satan. People choose to be separate from God, and are therefore making the decision of death instead of the eternal life He offers.
It's the same thing as choosing to get off of a sinking ship into a lifeboat. If you choose not to get in, the lifeboat is not responsible for your drowning.

That is not God doing that....it is humans who don't understand God doing that.
Christ came not to judge the world but FOR JUDGMENT. Most people get this confused. There is a big difference.
John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Judgement Day is not some end of the world catatrophe. FOR JUDGMENT mean he lives in us to become our deciphering tool to understand all things (perfect judgement). Two separate meanings of judgement. Most people think he is going to judge us for our bad habits or something. Satan is the accruser of the brethern not Christ.
Rev 12:10
"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
Satan is that thing that lives in each of us. It is us eating of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil every day. We accuse ourselves day and night out of this tree. That was the only thing God told us not to do, and most religions base everything on right and wrong. Kind of strange I think. Once you truly understand the tree of good and evil, you know the truth and you are really truly free (pardoned of all).

It's obvious you don't, (and probably never have), read the Bible. If you had, you would know that God will "not" cause Armageddon. Mankind, through their own self-serving sins will bring this world to that crescendo, and at its peak, God will end it... right before all of mankind is destroyed!
Man chooses his own destiny, not God. The Bible was given to all so that all should know the Truth. To know the Truth is to choose eternal salvation... so... choose!
The law is laid! Everyone has the same choice to make... eternal life or eternal death?

Let's do a study of God's methods. God like to Drown and kill by disease (10 plagues):
Drowning: First you slowly loose strength to stay afloat. Finally you slowly and occasionally start to fall below the surface. Eventually you start to choke on water. Finally you fall below the surface and painfully suck in water. The water burns your lungs as your body starts to violently try to get oxygen. Finally you fade to black.
Disease: You strength is taken. Your digestive tract no longer works correctly. There were no bathrooms back then. There were no pain medications back then. You internal organs actually liquefy. You are left to die in pain. Your loved ones are afraid to be near you. You die alone.
These are the preferred methods that God uses to kill. Look at the bible and live it before you make judgement!!! Read it and understand!

God set this world spinning into orbit. He placed each and every star in place. He knows each and every piece of sand on each and every beach. He gave you life--breath. Without him, we would not be. He is the one who put everything into place. He desires a love relationship with everyone, but not everyone wil accept. Those that refuse to recognize their Creator are turning their backs on him, as they head straight to hell. Everyone has a choice: heaven or hell, life or death. He does not kill. They choose to die.

He is also the world's most prolific abortionist.... scientists estimate that 20% of ALL pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion, without the mother even realizing she is pregnant....
D_fan, why would I blame Adam?? God is the one who decided to create us - even though he is omniscient and sees the past present and future, God is the one who made the decision to create us EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW we would be failures and his son would have to die for us.... Why is that Adam's, mine or anyone's fault other than God's??? If he could truly see the future, he would never have created us. God is a failure - and then he has the audacity to blame me for it??

Technically, He doen't kill them, He just sends them to Hell to suffer for all eternity. And that's there fault for not believing in Him.
