There is no crime worthy of eternal punishment. Luckily, there's no evidence for hell, and the whole idea of it fails most tests of basic reason and rationality.

I'd spend your time worrying about something else.

logically if there is no crime worthy of eternal punishment, then there is no act worthy of eternal life. It is a gift. Both are gifts. We accept which one we want. Evidence. I heard someone say, prove it does not exist. Evil or good. The Saturday before Palm Sunday I decided to read about where Jesus was before He entered the city of Jerusalem.

In Luke the last parable He told was about the talents. The last part of the parable jumped out at me. He said, “But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.”

All they did “wrong” was not want to be ruled over. They wanted their freedom, I suppose.

Who makes the decision? What “evidence” would you expect of hell?

There are people who have near-death experiences who said they went to hell.

“...Luckily, there’s no evidence for hell...”

Which fits nicely into the whole “religion” thing, in that there is no metaphysical evidence at all. But then again, there is no evidence that life exists on other than planet Earth. Or even that there are any lifeforms on Earth that have not been discovered.

Did God really say? ... The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!"
