A provacative question, perhaps, but... how many atheists or agnostics (or some other person who believes in something else) do you know personally - how many of these people would you send to hell?

No, I don't have more compassion than God.
I wouldn't send anyone to hell, but I'm not God. God is the judge, not me.

As a Christian I can't choose God and treat people like dirt because to love God means to love other people unconditionally. The bible says if you don't love all other people who you can see then you can't love God who you have never seen. I know one atheist and never got the chance and talk to him about what he believes. I thought it was strange for him to not believe in God but he did have a hard life and is probably just mad at him. I wouldn't send anyone to hell if I had a choice. I would place them temporarily someplace less severe instead of hell for a while.

As a Christian, it is my responsibility to love my fellow man and do everything in my power to keep them OUT of hell. I would not send anyone to hell because 1. I am NOT God and don't have that right, and 2. God doesn't want anyone to go to hell, He desires that ALL men come to repentance. If I am to please my Father, I will desire what He desires and subject my will to His.

It's not possible to be more compassionate than God.
Personally, I would not send them.
Matthew 7:1
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
But God gave judgment to Jesus:
John 5:22
"For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,"
John 3:16-18
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. [17] "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. [18] "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Why do you think God sends people to hell? People send themselves to hell. God already allowed you a path to Heaven and I have no idea why you wouldn't at least attempt to enter in at the straight gate and travel the narrow path that leads to eternal life. What more does God have to do for you. He already became one of us and suffered terribly on the cross for you. What's the deal? Is is that you love your sin more than you care about eternal life? Remember, you send yourself to hell and the gates of hell are locked from the inside.
Repent of your sins and trust Jesus to save you. This is what is required.

No, I do not have more compassion than God for fellow mankind.
As to who goes to hell - not in my job category. I send none to hell. Have no desire to.

God has compassion, and we also can feel compassion. But, the only way I can feel compassion for God is the event of the Cross. Elohim broke for us. Jesus died of a broken heart.
Now, I don't feel compassion for God, but Gods compassion for the lost & the persecuted. Feeling God's compassion for others isn't really feeling compassion for God though.

Ah, the science of compassion, which is actually pity.
Some say their law (sacrifice) is better then other them,
not knowing the second(law) is "like unto the first"(law),
and the first is sin and death: obviously still a dead end.
http://www.godshew.org/TwainShew4.htm#Laws
Son of man rule of law has 1 thing for both them vs them,
both scape-goats vs dumb-sheep in left/right "heavens":
It's destroy them all: Noahic sort of destruction: Luke 17.
Both them vs them should read Luke 17 and Revelation.
http://www.godshew.org/Revelations10.htm
USA: our killing is better than their killing; We do it right?
Being right to make others wrong makes everyone dead.
Both of them vs them should read 1Thessalonians 5:3.
Us-ward is neither of them vs them mentioned in Heb 10:39.
The Lord is l-o-n-g-suffering unto "us-ward" (not them-ward).
http://www.godshew.org/Usward.htm
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

You decide if you want to go to hell or not. Philippians 2:12, Revelation 20:12

As a Christian I have no compassion for anyone.. that's why I'm not one. As an agnostic I have even less.
