I don't believe in god. This is just one of the many points that led to the rejection of my faith.
Will you "discipline" your kids by burning them? Interesting

God is creater and Master of everything. So word "tyran" and "kill" does not apply for God.
God is just.. and Just means really just.

Divinity is not a tyrant or a bully, but Fallible Humanity has labeled It as such to support their own agendas. I was taught when I was little that "God is Love." I still believe that, but I cannot agree with religions that claim that their God Hates people because of who they are. And by "Hates" I mean will sentence good decent people to an eternity in a fiery pit because of silly things like who they love or how they praise Divinity Itself. Divinity will give us -ALL- our punishments, and when we have paid off those debts that we owe, and are truly sorry for having done them, will welcome us Home with open arms (Or noodley appendages if that's what you prefer.)
Despite being Nondenominational Pagan, Jesus loves me, this I know, for YOUR bible tells me so..........

No! God is our Heavenly Father. Then there is our parents on earth. Example, a person doesn't want to live at home anymore, dislike your parents for some reason. you leave, planning to stay away forever. By your own choice. As with God, it is by a person's own choice that they don't want to be with God forever. A person makes the choice to leave God therefore having hell the onl place to go. Again a person's own choice.

Will tyrants let you live if you say this about them? God will not too.
He is The Most Merciful, He will give you time to repent.
I don't why I am talking to non-believers.

The Gods of some religions certainly are.
Imagine a god who says love me or burn in hell. How about a god who smites entire populations, condones smashing the heads of newborns upon rocks, or drowns all of his creations?
No thanks, I'll stick with a just God, tyvm.

Read the Bible. He isn't depicted as a particularly benevolent god. He is jealous, spiteful, vindictive, and murderous.
Which would be why some of his greatest admirers have done the things they've done...people like this:

Hell yes brother. God has killed more innocent people than Stalin or Hitler ever thought of, at least that's what the Bible says.

God died for you and offers life everlasting as a gift. He created you, and while you laugh and enjoy life you think little of him, but in your darkest times you think of him.
Doesn't sound like a tyrant to me... Sounds like a Creator/Father.
