I think if I did believe in a god, I would not want to follow him. His rules are stupid. If you don't believe in him you are sent to hell, although all the people that HE made are different, so ofcoarse same people aren't going to beleive in him.
Also, there are some people that will never hear of this Jesus and children that die young will be sent to a flaming hell because they didn't believe in him.

I agree. I don't understand a religion that says that God loves us, but he'll put us in an eternal torture chamber if we don't believe the right thing. I would like to believe that if we have a creator, he is pure love and wouldn't do such a thing. If there is a creator that uses hell as punishment for trivial sins, then he is unfit for worship.

God created us. He has the right to judge, and He is the only righteous judge. However, God doesn't send anyone to Hell. They send themselves there. They can believe anything they want to believe. That's free will. But, If you reject Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, then, you are CHOOSING that you don't wish to accept Him. There are only 2 paths you can take. One is the right path. The other is the wrong one. One is the narrow, the other is the wide. There is no in between! That's where people make their biggest mistake. They think that there is something in the middle. THERE ISN'T! Few will CHOOSE the narrow path that leads to eternal life, and a life with our HEAVENLY FATHER. Many will CHOOSE The road to destruction. God has warned you. If you CHOOSE to ignore His warnings, then that is your CHOICE to go to Hell. Me, I Choose life. I choose Jesus Christ!
Little children aren't of the age of accountability to choose on their own, and will automatically go to heaven, so will babies.

I've thought the same thing. Like it's your fault if you were brought up buddhist and never taught about the big JC? I'm sure that isn't the case. That's why i think you should just try to be a good person in life and not get too specific w/ your beliefs.

a individual isn't in basic terms despatched to hell. God offered a manner for all and sundry to realize Him. God does not choose us or our compliment. We compliment God in gratitude for His goodness to us and so via doing that it lifts us up from the matters of this international. God is quite able to stay devoid human beings. yet he chosen to make us His family individuals.maximum people who say they do no longer believe in God seems to be offended at God, that's humorous in the event that they do no longer believe He exists.

Of course not.
I believe that the only reason why a person would be sent to hell is if he advanced himself by destroying or despoiling other people.
Any lesser types of sins who require temporal punishment, depending upon the gravity of the sin, because justice must be served in that *all* sin, being a knowing and willing transgression, requires its own punishment.
But such people, after having served their term, will reach the perfect and eternal happiness of heaven.
But for those others are condemned to hell, because they acted so that other innocent people would be deprived of satisfaction and happiness in their lives (for their own perverted profit), they will justly be deprived of that themselves for all eternity.
We must realize that God is completely just and reasonable in His will.

The rules god is supposed to enforce are made up by people who want to scare you into following their church.
If hell doesnt work, they will try to come up with something worse.

God sends people to hell for their sins.
Believing in His saving goodness through the Gospel of His Son Jesus Christ is His gracious escape plan for you.
I hope you accept the invitation.
Do you have a better plan?

So you're saying that the devil's rules are cool? Because guess what...if you aren't serving the Lord the only other alternative is Satan. So God's rules are "stupid." He gives us rules because He loves us and wants to spare us from pain and death. But your god's rules are no-fear mentality, anything is fun and acceptable attitude...but his games have fangs that are itching for the moment to bite down and devour you whole and then take you to hell with him...... Nah, my God-Jesus Christ wins!

We chose what we want to do. God gave us the power of free will. God constantly gives us chances to go th Him but he can't ask forever. There comes a time where He will give up because He knows no ne else will go to Him in love. We choose to go to Hell.
