Would you rather have a God who let evil go unpunished?
No, I would prefer a God who would, if he decided punishments were necessary, provide punishments that fit the crime. If a father spanked his child for hours on end, we would agree that father is a monster. Yet we are told to believe that a infinitely loving God is going to punish most of the people who ever lived for the crime of failing to believe in Jesus. The fact that huge numbers of people down through history never heard of Jesus and therefore had no opportunity to believe doesn’t matter.
Is failing to believe in Jesus really a crime that deserves everlasting teeth-grinding pain?
