You know as much as any good Christian would LOVE for you to be right about God's love & logic...the Scriptures tell us differently. It is because God is also a JUST JUDGE.
God gives us the ability to choose where we want to spend eternity, and we live our lives based on that choice.
If you take the time to actually READ the Bible, you will see for yourself that God spent the entire time of human history PLEADING with us to turn to Him. (even to the point of sending His beloved Son to pay the price for our redemption)
Not because He "needs" us in some pitiful manner, but because He wants us, and He loves us enough to TRY His best to get us to love Him (without forcing us) and that we would want to be with Him, in return.
Hell is an eternity spent AWAY from God, by your OWN choice, not His. God tells us what that "separation" is all about & what it will be like, NOT to scare us into believing in Him, but that we may be able to make a "logical & informed" decision regarding WHERE we want to live in the "Eternal now".

Hell is the state of mind where you believe that everyone must get what they deserve - for good or bad.
Hell is the state of perception where you only see those who have more than you do - and strive to get it (from them)
Hell is the place where you act on these beliefs and perceptions.
Hell is the time when you do it.
I hope it is obvious from the above that I believe that He does not put you in hell. You do it yourself. Well, yes, others can certainly give pushes, but you have to make the decision.

It's a place that people joke about or they just don't believe it.
Five seconds after they arrive there and understand what's really happening, they scream in horror, and demand to know why they were not warned. Don't you think the two boys at Columbine High School would have given all if they could go back and rethink their decisions?

properly, i do experience that that's pointless to assert "hell" in maximum circumstances..AND each physique human beings do no longer do it. Its very generalizing. i'm American and we are no longer ALL approximately John Wayne. That grow to be a protracted time in the past and not in this technology. we don't all experience horses and shoot bow and arrow. it rather is an previous stereo form of human beings. Its form of asserting all Brits have undesirable the teeth..no longer all Brits have undesirable the teeth.. i assume a small inhabitants does..yet no longer ALL.

Well, for me, is coming back to work after a 4 days vacation on the beach, and find that nobody helped, so the work is still there (even if you're not the only one that had to do it) and you have the pressure to finish it today (It had to be ready yesterday).
That's hell, you don't have to go that far.
Merci!!!

The doctrine of an eternal hell is a large amount of a brown, disgusting, semi-solid substance that has been eliminated from the digestive tract of a sexually functional male bovine.

Hel has one "L" and she's Loki's daughter who was cast into the place that bears her name Hel where she can rule over the dead.
Oh you mean THAT Hell. Haven't a clue.
