This thread is directed toward Christians and Muslims. My question is simple: How can you possibly love and worship a god who tortures unbelievers for eternity? Even if such a god existed (which I highly highly doubt), I could never love it, knowing that it will end up torturing many of my loved ones forever. I firmly believe that there are only two possibilities if you worship such a god. You are either 1) so petrified by your fear of it (God) that you convince yourself that you love it and worship it for fear that it turns on you, or 2) you are a clinical psychopath. Now, I know many religious people who believe in hell, and I know that they are genuinely good people, and certainly not psychopaths. Therefore, the only conceivable possibility in my mind is that they are so petrified of their god that they have deluded themselves into thinking they love it for fear that it punishes them.
