There is some inconsistency about the rewards and punishments connected with the idea of belief. If we truly have the freedom to believe or not in God , then punishing us with hell, or hardship for not believing is hypocritical. The word "belief" itself, clearly states, that one believes only, and does not know for certain. Therefore, if God would let us know in no uncertain terms that he exists, and that he has set certain rules we must follow, and the consequnces of breaking those rules will be such and such... Then I can understand the premise of hell and heaven. But to fail to convince, and to punish for not believing, especially when one is facing so many competing religions, seem so...how to say it...ungodly.
