This is the typical mentality of the abused.
"He might have broken my arm, but he still loves me. He didn't want to have to hurt me."
Etc.

Since God will be torturing them forever, of course they will deny God's boundless love. How is eternal torture and expression of love? If anything, it would give atheists a reason to hate God.

Will God be torturing them forever in hell...or will he still offer them boundless love.

God...
who possesses boundless love, is the torturer as well.
Nice...real nice.
See why Christians get lambasted?

Your question pre-supposes there is a burning hell where we are tormented forever. That is not a scriptural teaching. But yes, when the end of this system of things come, people will have to know that God exists.

Yes the simple answer is if Gods loves you that much why would he put you in a place of torture.

Hm.... now THAT is a toughy...
I think I'm gunna hafta go with "yes" on this one, Church Lady.
But wait... wait... I thought it was Satan that tortures people in Hell, not God?
Ah, what does it matter, God is omnipresent anyhow. We may as well consider him present in the Devil as the Devil tortures the damned.
Again, "yes".

I think atheists(the hateful kind like Dawkins et al) torture themselves already. They are in a hell of their own making. So they choose to be in solitary, in the outer darkness in the afterlife.
As for boundless love, you can't give someone something they don't want, duh!
I don't believe the Bible ever mentioned the devil "torturing" people in hell. He's just distributing more pain to those who join him, some of which he's going through for all eternity.

uhhhmmm... that is totally contradictory.... if he had boundless love, then he wouldn't be torturing them forever in hell b/c he would love them too much.

For the person that asked who are you to decide where to go...In oreder to be saved from eternal hell fire, God and Jesus itells us that the first thing we must do is accept God and His word. So he isn't deciding, God has already made that determination for someone who doesn't believe.
