Critiquing his own work? Doesn't every soul that burns in hell relfect badly upon him, being as he created it in the first place, programming it's capabilities into it from day one? It's like building a machine that won't work for you--if you built a boat that wouldn't float, would the boat be the failure or you, yourself? If God wasn't a failure, would hell exist?

Supposedly we are supposed to believe that God sacrificed himself to himself to save us from a place that he created. Sounds like bullsh.it to me.

God is a gentleman. He gives us choices in life. We go to hell or heaven by the choices that we make. He will not force Himself on anyone.

God created people with independent will so it's not like He is really judging Himself.

Your logic is correct. It just shows the problems you encounter when you try to apply logic to Christian concepts such as God, Hell, and Judgement.

No|
-----
A soul that sins, goes, bad, or is damned, is not a result of a defect in the created product|
It is the result of a *will* that has chosen evil when it could have chosen good|
So the fault is in the soul and not in God|
This article of mine explains that in more detail|

If we are all a part of God like many religions say that we are then he would be punishing himself too.

If you create something out of nothing it would have to be all part of you. It is a manifestation of your will, your energy, it would be you.
So yes, a god that creates a hell would be a masochist.

If you created a robot and it went haywire and killed your whole family, would that mean that you are bad? No, it wouldn't it just means that free will is a dangerous thing and is no fault of the creator.
