I think of hell and eternal punishment for something done here on earth for perhaps 70-80yrs, as incredibly cruel, unjustified, and unnecessary.

Hey stuartcr, if you have in your 70-80 years here (a gift from God) decided up to the last minute to rebel decisively against Him, to ignore his love, and His hopes that you will become a loving being yourself - and if you have made the decision to bring horrendous evil into this world (and thus to follow the way of Satan) - then you have made your choice. What difference if you made that choice in 70-80 years, with an infinite number of chances to repent, or in 700-800 years? My guess would be that people of this nature (like Stalin, as an example, unless he truly repented), are far from God now. God gives you a lot of chance to join the good side. Don't be a fool and tell Him that your 70-80 years isn't good enough for you.

Why do you feel I ignore God, just like everyone else, I wouldn't be here, thinking as I do, if it wasn't for Him.
