David, no I am not comfortable with the fact that many, many people are in hell and going to go there. But you know what? It doesn't change the fact. It does motivate me to reach as many people as I possibly can though. If more people had taken God seriously there would not be nearly as many people in hell. Again, it is not God's fault. We are all fit for hell due to our sinful nature. It is he who gives us the opportunity to escape. He is throwing you a life saver and if you or anyone refuses for whatever reason to grab it they are foolish and forfeit their eternal life. It behooves me why people live like there is no such thing as death. It seems to me any rational person should understand that where they are going to spend eternity is a question of utmost importance. Also any rational person should understand that just because they were brought up a certain way does not mean it is right or true. Obviously many people were brought up with different beliefs. They all contradict and either only one is right or none is right. But how many people seek the truth with all their heart. If they did they would find it.

No-one forced him to do that - he could have, for example, created a place where non-beleivers go that was not a place of suffering. As a good being, to create a place of infinite suffering should be an impossibility and yet he still did it...What good is being served through the eternal suffering of billions of people, many of whom did not get the chance to search for the truth (for example, tribes on Borneo in 13 BC.) Do they go to hell for the simple reason that they were born in a time and place that made it impossible for them to know Christ?
