Why dont you tie me to a chair and shine a light in my face, maybe then 'you'll be able to make me talk'. As far as I am concerned I have expounded on the biblical perspective not only why God has the right to take life (by virtue of his being the originator of life and the universal sovereign) but have also pointed out that the Amekalities were jud ...[text shortened]... out me than it does about you. I remain detached and objective you remain tabloid and personal.
-Removed-I believe that God is both benevolent and just. I also believe that although I have insights as to what is just, I don't have the full picture, and neither do you.
We either have faith that God is just and benevolent or we don't. Obviously, you have judged God not to be just or benevolent if hell really exists.
All I know is that I understand what evil is in this world. I've seen far too much of it and I am sick of it. There is no reasoning with it, and it will continue to cause never ending suffering if not done away with. If hell is the answer for extinguishing it once and for all, then I'm all for it.

-Removed-It's already been pointed out in this and other threads (according to the Bible) death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. Why you consistently rail away at belief in an eternal hell is a bit of a mystery, because your question should focus on whether or not there will be eternal suffering in the lake of fire. I don't know if you are lying or suffer from some form of confusion.
Are you 1.) deceived 2.) being deceptive or 3.) both? Are you confused or intentionally lying when you persistently misrepresent Christian belief and Biblical teaching?
And in spite your protestations, if as you say the lake of fire is a metaphor representing something else, then what it represents is relevant.
-Removed-And yes it is disgusting; that you don't think that a god choosing to torture billions of people for eternity for no more than not believing in it is not disgusting, is exactly what this thread is about.
What is disgusting is you claiming to be a Christian who claims Christians believe you will be tossed into hell for simply not believing in hell. This thread of yours is just another in a long line of transparent attempts to gin up anger against Christians and Christianity.
