That doesn’t answer the question of what YOU would do different.

How would you deal with sin? What would your penalty be?

What would you have them do for eternity?

I’m sure you are a very nice person, but as I said before, it’s like we are from 2 different planets.

Nevertheless, since you insist, here goes:
If we accept something like a biblical construct to reality, if I were God I would allow the saved to spend eternity in heaven, and consign the unsaved to extinction at death or shortly thereafter. No real hellfire. How about that? That’s what I call mercy.

But your question presumes a biblical construct, i.e., that sin and judgment and hell are realities that need a solution. I’m no longer convinced.

Besides, I’m not God so I don’t know. I anticipate that some will say if I don’t have an answer to the problem of hell or sin or whatever, I have no right to criticize. That’s nonsense. I can express an opinion about a movie, for example, without the knowledge to make a better one.

There seems little point to continuing this discussion.
