My God does not need for me to believe in my God. My God is happy with me just as I am whether I believe in God or not.

In a parable to describe this, Jesus mentioned: "24 here is yet another tale Jesus informed: “the dominion of Heaven is nearly a farmer who planted solid seed in his container. 25 yet that evening by way of fact the staff slept, his enemy got here and planted weeds between the wheat, then slipped away. 26 while the crop began to develop and bring grain, the weeds additionally grew. 27 “The farmer’s workers went to him and mentioned, ‘Sir, the sphere the place you planted that solid seed is finished of weeds! the place did they arrive from?’ 28 “‘An enemy has performed this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘could we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. 29 “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat in case you do. 30 permit the two develop mutually till the harvest. Then i'll tell the harvesters to handle the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to place the wheat interior the barn.’” " (Matthew 13, The Holy Bible New residing Translation) Which promotes the thought that no longer _all_ individuals human varieties are truthfully toddlers of God. IMO, people who won't have self assurance are the 'weeds'. do we decide directly to no longer be a 'weed'? sure, that's what unfastened will is all approximately.

In one matter, you are correct. God doesn't need you to believe
in him. He doesn't need me to either. His life doesn't depend
on any thing I do, or think, or say, or believe.
Whether God is happy with either of us as we are, i don't
know that for sure. I don't even think he's very happy with
me right now.
As far as whom would by sent to hell by God, I'm trying here to
consider it in a common sense way.
Murderers, obviously, especially mass murderers, obviously
excluding those who killed in self-defense, or to save someone
else's life.
But what about those who with malice caused destruction of
millions by lying?Even if they did it indirectly?
What about people who could have saved life indirectly, or
directly and looked the other way? did nothing?
For eternal punishment, it would have to be an eternal offense.
If God is truly just, he will do as he promised, that he shall
judge every man according as his work shall be.
I do think that the people that fed and cared for the sick and the
poor, and who were unable to understand or believe, that Jesus will grant entrance to his kingdom. He said he would cast out
them that offend out of his kingdom(Matthew 13).
People who did good for the poor and sick are not offensive.
I don't care what any "protestant" says about it.

It's like a class. If you flunk, the teacher issued the F, but you earned it. Same concept.
Now imagine that the teacher did everything they could for you to pass. They did their best to teach you, made every effort to empower you and encourage you. When they noticed that you still weren't trying had your peers try and encourage you. But you still failed. All along you had what it took to pass, but you choose not to try. You would be to blame for failing.
The same is true of your eternal fate. It's your choice what you do and what choices you make. So if you end up in hell, it was you who put yourself there. God has set laws that we have all broken. He has made a way to be justified however through Jesus. It's your choice what you do with that offer to avoid your rightful penalty, just as it's mine.

Hmmmm... My God does not send them to hell.. they go by themselves...
People will know the sins they have committed and know that only Perfect beings can dwell with God in Heaven. Jesus has the authority and power to atone for our sins and make us once again pure and able to live with Our Heavenly Father...
Those who will not accept Jesus as Savior will go to hell rather than face their sins...
God gave us our Agency and He will not take it away from us.

My G-d doesn't send those who do not believe to hell. And, as I understand it, the "hell" that exists in my belief's afterlife happens for up to 12 months, no longer.

Hell is for the wicked. Wicked Christians, wicked pagans, wicked atheists. Salvation is for the righteous. Righteous Christians, righteous pagans, righteous atheists. I have trouble finding any verses that condemn people for ignorance alone. If God holds atheists responsible for adhering to the dictates of their own consciences (upon which, he says, are written his laws on tablets of flesh), then they obviously have the capacity to live righteously.

You don't have a God. Quit making it up. My God doesn't like that you make up other gods in order to prove that He sucks, so He's sending you to hell.

Ok so do you know who your God is? or is that not important to you? There is a god that does accept any worship that is true but he is not the one and only true God (2Corinthians4:4)

Well that is simply because YOUR God doesn't have a hell nor a heaven to put anyone in. I would recommend you try the real thing.
