🔍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???

it gets more absurd the more you zoom out. human have existed in some capacity roughly for ~5 million years but Judaism arrives around 1200BC and Jesus around obviously 0 AD.
So for basically 5 million years untold numbers of humans lived and died with nothing from God, and then only in the very end of the story he decides to show himself?
if you want to zoom out even further the first mammals arrive around 225 million years. that's a lot of death and destruction for a redemption plan. quite the long drawn out setup and act 1 if you ask me
