Absolutely Sane
God wants us to believe in him because we want to, not because we fear the consequences of not believing in him, since then it becomes a weighted choice, not one of free will. This is contradicting to loving someone. You cannot be forced or treathened to love someone. So the existance of hell as the place where you get sent when you have been bad in your life is impossible in our view. It would be unneccesary cruelty. The denial of being in the eternal presence of God after you die, is the consequence of not having faith, not eternal torture. You can reap the reward of having faith, you can't reap anything from not having it
- A catholic I know, about my future in her opinion
What do you think about that specific view? Does it make sense?
Please be a little more contructive than: "Hell is created by man to scare people into believeing", or: "Hell does exist, and you dirty atheists are trying to reason your way out of it".
