If you were made dictator of the world, what would you do with Christians? Would you put the in extermination camps like Hitler did the Jew? Would you strip them of all rights? What would you do? The world wants to know!

I don't understand why a divine ruler would want to punish it's underlings, even if a human has good intentions in life but doesn't accept a certain beleif they are threatened with eternal hell? Glad to hear that God loves us..hah, From what I believe though they threaten you with those extremes to keep you in their religion so you don't stray away - scare tactics...

Eternal burning torment is not in the Bible. You're right... a loving God wouldn't do that. At Romans 6:23 we are told our two choices... the wages sin pays is DEATH, and the gift that God gives is EVERLASTING LIFE through faith in Jesus. There were never two kinds of eternal life... a good one or a bad one. God says if we are obedient, we can live forever. If not, when we die, we will stay dead forever, with no hope of a relationship with Him. Sounds fair to me, doesn't it to you?

1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; After all is resurrected from the first death, the death sentence that was passed on by Adam, what is the cause of the second death, the one the resurrected person is responsible for?
Rev.21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Would it be better to punish them by forcing them to live in Heaven forever with a god that they hate?
Someone who does not like God or his rules will be in hell no matter where he goes.

Don't forget that in the Biblical story, this loving God turned Saul into salt simply for turning around. How's that for love?

God is loving, but He is also just. People will be judged based on what they know of God. He has plainly laid out the way to be saved.

I think it doesn't matter what I think. I think it matters what God thinks and it seems He isn't much on the wishy-washy. You're either all-in or all-out. And I'm OK with that (as if I has a choice)!
May the Lord bless you!!

Why ask Christians about that? It's not they're invention. Ask God why, maybe he will enlight you.

You can ask God on judgment day.
