What right did god have to create a hell? He doesn't feel pain, and so he can't know what torture is. If he was there, he would probably squeal. What POSSIBLE right can he have to make such a system for other people?
Being a creator does not give him that right. Let him not foist his ethics down our throats.

Come on people! You say he gives us a choice. If a fellow put a gun to my head and says "Do what I say or I'll kill you. It's your choice". Is that really a choice? Give me a break. Don't use the ridiculous fallacious logic.

So god's only claim is that he has more muscle. In other words, he's a thug!

The arrogance in your question proves that you've never served in the military, or lived in a country with a king that has absolute rule.
You could ask the same question about "What right does the Government have to make me pay taxes?" And the answer is easy. You pay, or go to jail. Of course, you DO have a choice on whether or not to pay taxes, but there's a detriment in not doing so.
Same for hell. If God doesn't offer both a good and a bad, then there's no choice. So, yours is the fallacious argument. Everywhere in life, you have a choice. You can obey speed limits or not. You can obey stop signs or not. But if you don't, there's a penalty to pay.
As to whether or not God feels pain, you are sadly mistaken. Jesus was beaten to within an inch of His life, having the flesh ripped from His body, then nailed to a cross, where He hung for over six hours. I am quite sure you haven't experienced that kind of pain. And you sit there and say that He has no concept of what torture is. Egad!

First of all, God is Holy, and Righteous. He can do what ever he wants to do. What right do you have to question God's decision. Are you greater than God.
Secondly, God does not force his ethics down our throats. He gave us the 10 commandments as a guide line. We can choose to obey them if we want to or disobey them if we want to. If we obey them we will be blessed, but if we disobey them, we will suffer the consequences, and we will have to account for all the things that we say and/or do.

What right do you have to exist except by His choice. Hmmm!
By the way, God does know what pain and torture is. Do you not know Christ? I believe Christ, God in the flesh, endured more pain and suffering than any mere human in the flesh could endure, yet He still loves us. It is your choice to endure the pain and suffering you must be going through. You don't have to be alone. God can help if you let him. Its your choice...

Hell is for those who don't want to be in the presents of God for eternity.
God created everything and he has rules he has to follow.
If God is pure good he cant accept evil into his presents.
So through Christ God has made a path into heaven for all of us who have sinned (looking at a woman with lust in your heart, to murder or holding a grudge against you brother, ten commandments ).
Heaven is for those who believe in Christ as their savior and want to be in the presents of God for eternity
You get to choose if you want his ethics in your life or not. But you know the ending.
Its up to you.

He does not force anything down any ones throat. He gives us choice. Be with Him in light and love or be without Him in darkness and fear.
Baptist are big on burning eternally but if you really read you'll see Hell is being without God but He gives us the choice as He only wants love when freely given.
He waits patiently on us wanting only to ease our burdens.

God is the creator and YES he does have the right to tell us what to do, however you see God had given us the right to make our own choices and when we do these things he is watching us. Choose wisely

I can't answer your question because of the narrow scope of your field of knowlegde.
Where were you when God created the universe, and sun moon and stars? Can you divide the dry land from the water? Tell me?

God invented everything, even rights. He could make a bakers dozen of rights to do whatever he wants. Do not mock him!

Wow to put yourself above God- that is a scary thing to do. Who are you to question God!? He holds your breath in HIS hands and He can close His hand anytime He wants! Glory belongs to HIM --none of it belongs to man.
