My problem with Christianity

My problem with Christianity is the concept of hell as a part of it's belief system. The fact that you can abandon all sense of logic and reasoning any sense of morality simply on the basis of what is believed to be a so-called God is absolute stupidity. What would otherwise be considered evil is somehow acceptable if done by a so-called perfect God.

Is it evil for a judge in a court of law to sentence someone to death because of a sin they committed.

Believing in God is an absolute stupidity to you. There are over 2 billion absolutely stupid Christians as far as you are concerned. Christians have education, degrees, hold High positions and offices - but I guess you're saying only their belief in God makes them stupid.

@SDavis You ask:-

Is it evil for a judge in a court of law to sentence someone to death because of a sin they committed.

This is a poor analogy for the God of the Bible.

To begin with, according to some theologies, God actually sees sin in new born babies. Is being born a sin?

God IS Love. Build a theology upon that.

@SW-User no it's not a poor analogy - but to each his own truth is truth.

If you heard someone say God sees sin in newborn babies either they worded it wrong or your understanding is in error. God sees the nature of sin in newborn babies/humans. - It is the nature of the majority human to disobey. It is the nature of man to think self and what is prevalent for them.

Are you telling me to build a theology on God is love - ha ha. God loves that's where his Mercy comes in. God also has anger and wrath. So for anyone to try to build a theology on God is love will run into many problems.

@SDavis I explained why it was poor. What I explained WAS and IS very mainstream Christian theology, from the time of St Augustine.

And no. The only explicit identity ever given to God in the Bible is Love. God IS Love. It never speaks of any other identity as such.

So laugh all you like.

Universalism is a theology built upon the words "God IS Love". And if we truly believe in salvation purely by grace as the causal basis, then Universalism is the ONLY feasible option.

God IS Love. Salvation purely by Grace. Logically = Universalism. And there are many biblical.passages in full support for any wishing to look at the evidence.

Thanks
