If he sends your brother, sister, mom, dad and grandma to hell cause they didn't believe and say a prayer - do you like that?
Or if he lets everyone into heaven, Hitler, Charles Manson, Bush no matter what they done or believed - do you like that either?
Bible allows for both - which do you like or neither?

I don't object to God's judgment. I think He's the only one who has the right to judge a person. I certainly can't judge God, so if He wants Hitler, Manson, and Bush in Heaven, I have to accept it. If he sends my family members to hell, there's nothing I can do about that either, but I can't imagine a Heaven without them.

God is not like that....People are. Praying to god is all well and good. But it's really in how you live your life. And according to the bible, no one goes to hell anymore, the gates were sealed by Jesus when he went down to free Adam and some others from hell. Purgatory is were we are sent to repent our sins. We stay there until we have made amends for not doing what we should have, or for doing what is universally wrong. The bible reverses decisions alot, it's more a guide then the way to live your life. God wants you to use the power you have been given.....choice. And using that choice is what determines your after life.

No, the Bible does NOT allow for both!
Your second statement is faulty.
Not everyone DOES get into heaven-only those who are Born Again.
God is righteous. Wheter or not I like it is irrelevant. I accept god's righteousness gladly, because I know that he is ALWAYS impartial!
People either choose Christ or reject Him. It;s as simple as that.

I would prefer it if said god punished those who actually did bad things... such as Hitler's killing of hundreds of thousands... and Manson's killing of Sharon Tate and the others at her house that day... and Bush for ordering the deaths of hundreds of thousands... rather than punishing people for questioning his ways... he supposedly built us in his image... and as humans, we question a lot of things... "Why does it have to be this way?" is a common question.
