I would not.
I guess I am more forgiving than the God of the Bible and Christ himself.

GARY: FYI I dont care about hell. If it exists I will go there. I will never suck up to a God just to save myself from a place he created. I do believe in s God. Just not the crule, unjust, murderous, hypocritical, intolerant, big-headed God of the Bible.

If a God exists do you think he would think or reason on the same plane as a human? Why do you insist on putting human reasoning out to make the case for God or no God? And your right, God says in the Bible he is a vengeful God, so he might not be so very forgiving as you want him to be. But then again would a God care what YOU think he should be like? That is like saying the President should think like you or he does not exist. The President called you lately to ask how he should act? Must not really exist, He is just a myth fabricated by the media!

God isnt any of the things you have described. God is a just God, He is a kind, loving God. The Bible specifically says what would happen for disobeying God. Yes, God gave you the free will to choose what you believe, but there is a consequence to that thinking. If you gave your life to Jesus and live your life according to the Lords will, you will see first hand the blessings and the overwhelming love of the Lord.

I wouldn't, and neither is God.
I quess you are so Biblically illiterate that its amazing.
When Christ returns, there will be a 1000 year period of teaching and disipline. both of which are badly needed.
Nobody is going to hell unless they have had every opportunity to learn the truth - they will see it right before their eyes. If still they do not want to participate in the family, and be ruled under the governorship of Jesus Christ, then you will be blotted out of existance. period.
You are not more forgiving than the God of the Bible or of Christ Himself; but you are about as wise as a grapefruit, and one day you will be on your arrogant knees thanking that God that He IS so forgiving. Otherwise, your dumb a s s would be a done deal.

Well, it would be a lot easier to just believe in Jesus. Then you wouldn't have to worry or be angry about it. If you were misled in believing in God and you just die then you would just die. But if you don't believe and die and there really is hell, then you would be in big trouble. So its easier to believe in God and be on the safe side. The only difficulty is giving up your pride and stop worrying about what other sinners think. That's what makes Christians better than unbelievers because they don't care what arrogant unbelievers think. In fact, they are ready to die for what they believe, which shows more courage than those who are afraid to believe in God.

Your question demonstrates a lack of understanding as to what the Bible teaches about God, sin, forgiveness, and grace.
If you really want to understand God, seek him and read the Bible. In it he tells us about himself. The fact is, you aren't God, and some day you will stand before him.

ok, get a pencil and jot this down....
you do not go to Hell for not believing there is a God.
you do not go to Heaven for believing there is a God.
did you get that?
you do not go to Heaven for believing there is a God.
even Satan believes there is a God.
Satan has seen God.
God is perfect and without sin.
He cannot and will not allow sin in Heaven as it would corrupt that sinless place.
you were born with a sinful nature, thus ineligible for Heaven.
in order to make a way for you to spend eternity in Heaven with God, He devised a plan which sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross IN YOUR PLACE.....
enabling YOU to get to Heaven simply by believing that Jesus Christ did what He said He did, that Jesus Christ is God (no mere man could have done what He did for YOU), and make Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior.
That is God's Gift of salvation.
now, YOU have a choice to make.
will you accept God's Gift, already paid for by Jesus Christ, or will you say to God "no thanks, I think I will just go to Hell".
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Maybe not but after God has given people so much evidence for His existence and it being purposely ignored in favor of the mythologies of corrupt Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the others how could anyone expect anything but hell.
Truth is though, God won't be sending them anywhere because on Judgement day they will stand in judgement of themselves against a benchmark they won't be able to deny. If they denied God and His Messenger then they will bundle themselves off to the hell of remorse. If they chose the truth they will continue to draw near to God.

No, and I suspect that the real God also does not. He wishes and desires for all to come to HIm. He will give all the opportunity to do so. However, He will not force anyone. He does have a minimum standard that is required for entrance into His kingdom. Those who do not enter into His kingdom, it will be because it is their own choice. It will not be Him sending you to hell. It will be you sending yourself if that is where you end up.

One things for certain. You know the difference between right and wrong.

How many times does it have to be said? God doesn't send anyone to Hell. People choose to reject God and His gift of salvation. There are two choices of a place to spend eternity. In Heaven or in Hell. Those who reject God also reject Heaven. So they are choosing Hell for themselves.
