I would never condemn ANYONE to eternal punishment. Not Hitler, not OJ Simpson, not someone who murdered my mother. (No one has murdered my mother, by the way.)
If I would never allow anyone to suffer in hell, does that make me more forgiving than God?

Sounds like you have a good case there.
Eternal punishment does seem rather cruel and unusual for not believing in the right invisible man.
People are imperfect and make mistakes, why the eternal pain?

Sorry! But despite of what you and millions of others believe- God DOES NOT and IS NOT going to condemn anyone to eternal punishment!
The wages of sin is DEATH! NOT etrnal life ANY WHERE!
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin IS DEATH.
The lake of fire, in which countless millions believe is the eternal abode of the damned, is actually the second DEATH - in which there is absolutely no further resurrection from it! This is eternal, absolute and FINAL DEATH!
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.

It makes you more forgiving than the made up Judgmental punishing nonsense God, but not the real unconditionally loving God.

Hell is something religious leaders made up to scare the crap out of their followers. It's not a biblical teaching that people are going to burn in hell forever. The bible teaches that the wages of sin are death...not eternal damnation in hell.

God wouldn't either.
Hellfire is a catholic idea, invented to instill fear and thus keep dominance.
God has nothing to do with it.
Jeremiah 7:31 says clearly God never entertained the idea.

That means you do not understand the nature of a righteous, just, Holy God, who does NOT tolerate sin in His presence.
(NOBODY should be so arrogant as to suggest they can out-forgive God almighty)!

I've read your stuff. Compared to the god of the Bible you are saint-like.
But then again the god of the Bible is an egotistical, sadistic, childish tyrant.
No offense intended.

Your a perfect example that only God can be God.

God is forgiving, and he is also a just God. You should be ashamed for even comparing yourself to Him.
