Let's see if I have this straight. You understand the choice that you have (i.e., between God's system and any other system), you understand the results of both choices and yet your altruistic nature has somehow transcended even God's love--- so concerned are you for the nameless countless masses--- that you have no choice BUT to reject God's system on ac ...[text shortened]... ng on practically every point other than spelling. Even there you failed, only not as much.
You are incorrect in your initial interpretation of my post. My point is that if we take Christian teachings as read (for example having to choise to follow or not to follow God) then why can they not accept that we are forced to choise? And that by the very fact that some will 'choise' to not follow God, not ever creating them in the first place would be a mercy as it would prevent them from ever entering hell. Is it not evil to create a being you know will spend an infinity being tortured? Especally if you love them? The claim by Christians that 'God loves you and wants you to save yourself' is crazy as it was God who put you in the situation of needing to be saved in the first place, and he knows exactly who will not be saved.
So as I said, I have no religious beliefs. I am meerly trying to highlight a point that I veiw to be a logically falability within Christianity. If you'd like to explain to me why I'm wrong, or if you still don't understand what I'm trying to say, further comments would be much appreciated. (As for my spelling, I'm dyslexic and can't really be bothered to make sure they are all perfectly accurate. If there are any overly henious mispellings you think I should correct in future, then tell me.)
