How can a god justify eternal torment as a final destination for someone that wants to have never existed in the first place?
How can you justify love for this type of monster? (I know many of you don't believe in eternal torment----this question is not aimed at you. :P You're the good ones).
Any good arguments?

free will?
somehow you chose to be born, then chose to die, and chose to burn in hell forever against your will?
i think thats the best argument they can come up with...

Revelation talks about three books at the very end of the age: the Book of Life (names of everyone who ever lived), the Book of Works (everything ever done), and the Lamb's Book of Life (everyone who ever gave their life to Christ).
The judgement given by Christ is really not a judgement at all - He will merely check the books to see who gave their lives to Him, and who didn't. He is not the one who chooses whethere someone goes to Heaven or Hell - they choose where they go for themselves.
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis is a great book on the subject if you're ever interested.
As for someone never having wanted to exist in the first place - life is God's greatest gift to humankind, and if we choose not to accept it, that's our (eternal) loss.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!! yes, GOD makes the final judgement and He only wants us to live happy and morally correct and to accept the blood of Jesus Christ (He is our saviour) and one day us christians will go home forever to spend our eternity in Heaven with our Father. people like you most likely will burn eternally in Hell, unless you get on your knees and ask GOD to come into your heart and you accept HIM and ask for forgivness of all your sins, and you should repent and cleanse out your heart and soul, with GOD. i pray you will open up a geniune and true relationship with our Father in Heaven, so that you too, one day shall rest in peace, in our ETERNAL HOME. it is never too late to start up a relationship or conversation with JESUS CHRIST. why don't you try it? HE has a great book out there too you could try picking up and reading sometime. THE BIBLE.

God doesn't send you to eternal torment, you send yourself, Its obvious you believe in God or you wouldn't be here, so why not take the next step. Serving our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the greatest life you can have, it is a spiritual life, it comes from the inside, serving Jesus gives you peace of mind and a joy in your heart, life has its troubles of course but if you are a Born Again Christian you will feel different on the inside. When you get saved The Holy Spirit lives in your Heart, The Spirit gives you peace even in troublesome times. God lets you make the choice, Jesus came and died on a cross for you, tortured and bleeding He stayed on that cross even though He could have came down because He did have the power but He refused to. He died on that cross washing our sins away because He was a Perfect Sacrifice for our sins, Now all we have to do is just accept His free gift of grace thru faith and we can be Born Again and live a life serving our Lord and Saviour. The Bible says to seek and ye shall find, Jesus wants to save you today, are you willing to turn your life over to Him, to let Him guide you and to teach you how to truly serve Him??, Just pray this sinners prayer of faith and you can be saved right now, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you made a decision for Christ or have any questions, Please send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

If you choose God you won't have to suffer etrenal torment. That is your decision. God cannot Make the decision for you. He tells us "Choose Life"

If they exist, they must make a chice. The fact that they didn't WANT to exist, doesn't change that fact.
They MUST choose Christ & live.
or
Reject Christ, & Die.
It's as simple as that.
