Gabbie Carter :
There’s nothing logically consistent about religion to me.
He gave an example of a child being told not to put their hand in a fire because it would burn them. If the child ignores the warning and gets burned, then yes, you could argue that it was the child’s choice. But there’s another side to that argument. If you love your child and know they’re ignorant and naturally curious, you wouldn’t deliberately put them in a situation where they could easily hurt themselves and then blame them entirely for the consequences. You would protect them because you understand what they don’t.
Now apply that reasoning to God, our Father. If God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and loves humanity, why create a system in which He knows many people will end up suffering eternally? Why create hell, knowing the flaws, limitations, and circumstances of the human beings He created?
I understand the argument that sin is a choice, but human beings are imperfect. We have different levels of understanding, different upbringings, different experiences, and different circumstances that influence our decisions. If God already knows all of this, why would He impose an eternal punishment for the mistakes people make during a temporary human life?
And if He genuinely loves us, how does eternal suffering fit into that love? I’m not saying people should face no consequences for their actions. I’m questioning whether infinite punishment for finite human wrongdoing is logically compatible with a God who is supposed to be perfectly loving, just, and merciful.
