Why does God love anyone who believes in him, but hates those (with every ounce of his "moral being", and I'll prove it in a sec) who don't believe?
Don't say "God doesn't hate atheists" PLEASE, because he's more than happy to condemn such people to roast on Satan's BBQ forever, without lifting a damn finger. Why can't he just let everybody in!!! Does he think Christians who did believe will be jealous?, or try to lynch him in heaven?
Allowing such pain to be endured by one person (greater than all the pain suffered by all humanity, for all time combined) is an evil act.
Wake up people and see where true love and kindness lies, and it's not up there in the sky, it's in the middle of your chest, regardless if there's a "Darwin rules" necklace draped across it or not.

Ok, fine, as for not lifting a finger here's one. Some poor tribal member in New Guinea, who's never been exposed to the white man. Now he's burning in Hell, AND I GUARANTEE God never lifted a finger for him.
Do you like apples? how bout dem apples...

God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. He puts that choice in your hands.

heres a detail you might find interesting.
1) Judaism does not claim to be the only true religion.
2) in Judaism and the old testament, "Satan" is not evil at all. but an Angel working under God's will.
3) in Judaism and the old testament, there is no eternal hell.
4) some people who belive in God, also belive in reincarnation. this avoids the problem of the eternal hell.
some feel that "Hell" is in fact, a misinteperetation of collective memorys and awareness from the perspective of someone whos been stuck in repeated negative mortal lives via bad karma, intepereting this as an eternal hell.

Jesus is the door and He says come! God is not going to force you to be with Him in heaven when you want no part of Him now. You say God has not lifted a finger, when Jesus whole body was lifted up on that cross for you. If God was so anxious to condemn you then why are you still here?

the only way i might part with mom is that if her daughter became a christian, born lower back in the spirit christian, and you're actually not. Christians are to no longer be unequally yoked. If her mom is praying considering is the situation then it relatively is in all risk no longer hateful in any respect yet particularly scriptural. Now if neither of you're christian then God will answer mom's prayer, when you consider that He solutions all prayers, with a convincing "no". it is so difficult to tell with so little information.

Christians borrowed the concept of human sacrifice and eternal torment from Zoroastrians, not from Judaism!
Jews believe that all the righteous of the nations have a share in the world to come. Non-Jews have only the 7 Noahide laws while Jews observe 613 commandments.

Because God is made by man and man decided that god should not exactly hate those who don't believe in him but rather condemn them to eternal suffering in hell, but he still loves us.....riiiiiiight.
Man made God and not the other way around......my mom and dad made me not some fictional father figure from the sky.

First of all, God doesn't hate Atheists, he loves them. Just by your words, it is clear that YOU have made a choice to not trust in God and to not believe. Which is strange, as you seem awfully concerned for one who doesn't even believe, as that is what an Atheist is. Humanity makes the choice to fry on the BBQ, as you put it, not God. God himself came down to die for our sins to DEFEAT DEATH in raising the third day. Satan brought the curse of death to humanity in the Garden, Christ Jesus takes it away. I would say that makes him selfless, not selfish, SELFLESS and compassionate, worrying about us and our opportunity to be with him in the first place. God is pure and righteous and can not live where sin is, this is why we need a savior to take that sin away, so we can be with him. If you make the choice to not ask for forgiveness, then he can not forgive. Its pretty simple, and he doesn't ask much. I think you should wake up and see how foolish your comments sound and how they are contrary to what is truth. Just by your words, one can tell you haven't even given much consideration to even what the Bible says. Have you even read it? Doesn't sound like it.
About the apples ........... God promises that all will hear, so in some way, they will hear. Christ Jesus saves by the gift of salvation through his GRACE alone. His GRACE is HIS to give to whom he thinks deserves it, such as with babys, small children, mentally retarded, and yes, possibly remote tribal peoples. Having said that, these people would'nt have heard and made the BLATANT choice to NOT come to Christ Jesus. THERE my friend, is the difference!

God does Love all his creations. But He loves those who love back more.
I love all dogs, but I love the most my dog. I love the color of blue but green looks better on me so I favor green over blue.
These are simple sample for you to understand.
God loves us all and yes, some more than others. He has given us His words to live by and if you choose to not live by them then you have but your self in conflict with God.
By like a child who has disobey his father what does that father do. He tries to get him back on the right path. To stop doing what the Father thinks in his eyes are wrong. But the father continues to love his child. So does God work in the same way.

When those who are not people of faith "do by nature things required by (God's)law... they show that ...the law has been written upon their hearts" by God and God will judge them accordingly.
Romans 2:14, 15
You should really read the Bible before passing judgment on God.

God is Most Meriful and compassionate.
It is the brainless idiots who say that God hates his own creations (humans).
They say it because they don't want to follow Gods way of life and keep bitching about God.
