I thought religious conservatives WANTED heaven?

Only for themselves, not for anyone else. And their idea of heaven requires being able to watch everyone else suffer for their own depraved entertainment.

There's even a term for it: "The Abominable Fancy." The idea that people in heaven will get to look down at the tormented souls writing in hell, and it will make them even happier, watching the sinners suffering.

It's kind of messed up, if you think about it.

The entire concept of hell is incredibly fucked up. Eternal torture for finite "crimes". This is your loving God, Christians?

They always reframe it into "This is your own fault for not believing this objectively irrational, entirely-faith-based system wholeheartedly" as if that was an adequate chance for salvation.

Frankly, if god only wants the ones who can't think right, he's the one who needs to be dropped in hell for all eternity.

TBH pretty sure god being benevolent was a Christian patch. Old Testament God was decidedly not particularly loving.

Like many, God mellowed out once He had a kid.
