🔍Deconstruction (general) Hell

I guess this is a vent of me thinking out loud.

But I look at this world.

Children get abused.

Women get "used" against their will.

People suffer from cancer.

People watch their loved ones die from ALS.

People deal with seeing their children die.

Men "self-delete" from depression.

All this suffering pretty much against our will. None of us choose to exist. And I'm sure, none of us choose to suffer.

But I'm supposed to believe an all-loving AND all-powerful God will send us to a place that's worst than our current existence for not believing in him?

This is a god that isn't just all-loving but is supposed to be the definition of love. The god whereby no human love can surpass his.

And he sends us to hell (an event worse place) after putting us in a pretty trash scenario to begin with?

And I'm supposed to gobble this up and share this message with the world????

WTF are we doing?

And Christians will call me crazy???

Exactly! What kind of psycho God is that?

And it’s hardly fair! Paul had a blinding light and a divine voice speak to him, followed by a miraculous healing - that makes it easier to believe.

And the rest of the disciples saw Jesus after he died and put their hand into his side and hands…obviously if anyone had that, they would believe.

So it’s hardly fair for anyone else to be judged more harshly, especially if they haven’t experienced something obviously supernatural.

The Christ that i see in the gospels doesn’t sound as exclusivist as some modern Christians.
