How can a God of love send anybody to Hell?

      Maybe we are born and live in Hell and God forgives us    and send us to Heavens.

Very well said, marieelissa!!

What an awesome answer to that question.  You explained it very well and very completely.  Praise be to God!

God doesn't send anyone to Hell. You send yourself there.

Oh really?  Dying and having my "soul" automatically displaced to someplace horrible against my will sure doesn't sound like I'm the one in control.  I would send myself cruising around the galaxy when I die, thanks.  What's that?  God says that's not an option?  Then it obviously isn't me sending myself to hell, NOW IS IT!!!

God has done everything He possibly can to keep you out of Hell and still leave you as a person with free will and not just a robot.

   This is such a cop-out excuse.  How can you people not see that it is BLACKMAIL when the choice is worship me or BURN?  And god gives sh*tty f**king evidence for his existence.

Does God allow disease in the world? Does God allow jails and prisons for some people? Does God allow the electric chair sometimes? Does God allow sin to break homes and hearts? Does God allow war?

Yes because these are the same results we'd see IF GOD DOESN'T EXIST.  Chew on that for awhile rather than distracting from the issue.

We have our catalog of sins. We have rape and incest and murder ; and we have them all cataloged and classified--but there isn't one of them (or even put them all together in one big hunk) that comes close to the sin of keeping Jesus Christ out of your life.

Really?!  Think about that, folks.  You can steal, rape, murder, and wreak havoc to your heart's content, but if you simply cannot find good evidence to believe in a god, THAT'S when you're a bad person!!  How completely insulting to the human race.  Your god is such a petty, childish god!

Fire burns. Gravity kills. Water drowns. And you can say, "God is love, God is love, God is love," until you're blue in the face. But water will still drown you, fire will burn you, and gravity will kill you, and sin will damn you no matter how much you say about a loving God.

Um, this is a crap analogy.  Laws of the universe are completely different from rules that an omnipotent god makes up.  Laws of the universe don't care about you, they just are.  God supposedly cares about us, therefore, IT IS COMPLETELY IN HIS POWER TO NOT HAVE A HELL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

Without a conviction of ultimate justice, people's sense of moral obligation dissolves, and social bonds are broke.

   So why are the most atheistic countries in the world also the most peaceful and happy??  This is FACT.  Look it up.

everybody is responsible for his own doing..then why to blame god

queen, If that's NOT a huge trumped you with your own words, I don't know what is.

Heh, thanks!  Yeah, whenever someone tries to make the claim that people send themselves to the imaginary hell place, I'm always like, "What?!  Seriously??"

   GGGRRRRRRR:  I don't know about some of you, but it gets my goat when people curse about God.  I know it is their choice, but I certainly don't curse their religious/non-religious choice.  There's no need for that kind of talk in a "debating" forum where people are expressing their opinions freely (w/o the cursing.)

Censorship of words -- another stupid thing man invented.

[shernajwine]

it's not about censorship, it's about being respectful and having the ability to debate without the use of low class language.

[shernajwine]

She is low class 

And you're on welfare, which is lower than low class. 

Wow, did I wander into the Junior High forum?? lol

Thank you, sherna, you summed it up perfectly.

OMG...I just re-read this, and it reminded me of Eddie Izzard...

Eloquently put!
