The sane parent doesn’t make the danger that they are warning their child about. They don’t say, “Stay away from that fire or I will burn you.” They say, “Stay away from that fire because it burns.”
The proper response to a disobedient child is to physically prevent them from danger when they’re immature. When they are mature, the proper response, if they go too far, is to say, “You’re on you’re own, kid. Best of luck.” In between that is a whole range of response.
The god you believe in (such a deity doesn’t deserve the dignity of capitalization) has just two responses. Reward completely/Punish completely. Psychotic binary-only thinking.
However, the universe demonstrates that the god you worship is not the Creator. The universe is not binary, yes/no, 0/1, hot/cold. It has ranges. Water can freeze, be cold, be luke warm, be hot, be anything in-between. A parent can punish a small child by spanking, putting in time-out, sending then to their room, shaking their head and saying “I am so disappointed,” not punishing at all, or many other possible responses.
Your psychotic, binary god could not have created a universe of such subtlety.
And if the god you worship is not the God who Created the universe, who are you worshiping? Be careful, kiddo, you are further away from the Eternal Disneyworld than I am. And even if I don’t quite make it there, there’s always Universal Studios.

No sir- the responsible person says that a hell was created ror the evil one, and that if YOU choose to follow the evil one by denying God, then you will share in his just punishmenets- A parent warnign a child about not hanging out with murderers and drug pushers does so tellign the child that if htey so choose to then they will share in the negatives that are associated with such a lifestyle- Suppose the child becomes affected weith aids from a dirty needle, or ends up in prison? Did the Parent “Make that child suffer”? Of course not- the parent did EVERYTHING possible short of FORCING that child to stop hanging with hte wrong crowd- but hte child REFUSED sound council
Again- you seem to be of them ind set that nothign is YOUR fault- you refuse to take responsibility for YOUR own actions, and wishj to lay the blame on God when he has done EVERYTHING possible short of FORCING you to accept His word.
[[The god you believe in (such a deity doesn’t deserve the dignity of capitalization)]]
Tell Him that when You meet Him face to face and try to shovel the blame off on Him when it will have been your own choice to refuse Him. There won’t be ANY excuses available to you then sir- you wqill HAVE to own up to your own actions at that point- complaining about it here on earth, and maligning and insulting Him and htose hwo follow Him in public forums won’t dimish your OWN accountability.

Lol- your whole argument against hte existence of God is based on your opinion that God must be and act in 1 0 parameters?

You think so huh? Good for you.

Pssst- God isn’t ‘doing hte burning’ The person that refuses sound council is willingly walking into a fire they were fully warned to avoid-
let me ask you htis watches- Suppose you commit a murder, you go before a judge, and the judge sentences you to life in prison- Did the judge ‘make you go to prison’? No- You made yourself go- willingly- out of your own free will. Before you committed the murder, There were ample folks trying to warn you that if you do so, you will go to prison- Are these people being ‘psychotic and mean’ in your opinion? Are they being ‘judgemental’? Of course not! Suppose you’re in prison- what’s your excuse goign to be then? The judge put you there? The judge was simply carrying out justice- you decided before the murder that you did NOT want to abide by the rule of justice- knowing full well that if you refused to, you would have to pay the price- you can claim ‘it isn’t fair’ all you like, and try to shift the blame all you like, and insult and malign those hwo tried to warn you all you like- but you STILL are responsible for your own choices- you can’t shift hte blame, you can’t duck your own responsibilities., and accusing the judge of being mean and insulting him in no way dimishes your own responsibility in the matter.
