Why would God need a hell?

Post #1

Post by mickiel »

As I consider God, its hard for me to consider him needing a place like hell? The Christian concept of eternal hell punishing is a barbaric thing to consider. Why would God need to punish a human for all of eternity. Lets just say a human does not believe in God, and they live that way for 80 years; they die and according to many interpretations of hell , they will be brought back to life; judged, then banished to an eternity of living suffering in this hell.

I mean that punishment does not even fit the crime; 80 years of living, now they must live forever in suffering? Why?

Why would a God even need to do that?

I think God is a delusion. The reason is that I find no evidence for any. What kind of God are you talking about?

I am talking about this kind of God;

A creator
A ruler
An historical God
A being interested in releationships with his creations
A spirit being
A being that left a bibliography of himself
A Being that certainly has foreign elements that we do not understand
A God with an image; that image is consciousness.
The kind of God who plans things
The kind of God who is actually sensitive about being the only God.

Sounds like it could be the Christian god. Is that right?

No , I am not Christian , nor do I accept their view of God. The Christian God is a trinity ; the God I see is alone God. One God. I am not a Mormon either, but I like this rendition ;

You have to admit this is a little bit different. You offer a Mormon site that uses biblical quotes.
How confident are you that this god really exists?

I am at 100%, but I have blind spots; I think its really academic. Its logical and within reason. Its scientific and spiritual as well as historical. Its "Deliberate."

In example , if you walk down a street and see a dime on the ground , you think nothing. If you walk further and see 3 dimes on the ground , now you suspect someone may have dropped them by accident . But if you walk further and now find 100 dimes on the ground , in rows of ten , and perfectly balanced on their edges, now you can KNOW that this was deliberately done! I consider the universe and the earth and humanity as deliberately done.

I agree that works with dimes and humans.. But not God's and the universe.. What intentionality are you talking about? What are the dimes?

If you have blind spots how can you be at 100%?

Well basically I am talking about " The Anthropic Principles"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

The dimes can be symbolic of anything in matter.

Well my physical sight is at 100 % , but I can't see around corners. I can't see through walls. Blind spots do not mean we are not at 100%
