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.

Going to hell means depating from God. Where there is no God, there is no good at all. Look at our world, it is bad, however there is still good. Something that can prove this is that if you know what's bad, you obviously know what's good. You had to see good to know what's bad. In hell, there in no good at all, because there is no God, who is God. The reason there is suffering is because people there are departed from God. This means: hell=only suffering, only suffering=only bad, only bad=no good at all, and no good at all=no God anywhere. In this world, it's 50/50. Some people have God in their hearts, therefore since good is comming from God, there is good comming from that person. A person who doesn't have God in their heart is the opposite. In Heaven, there is only God. Since there is only God, there is only good. However, as I said, hell is departing from God. Only departing. So since there is no God AT ALL, there is no good at all.
Back to the evil-good in the world now. I explained, but I'd like to add something more. Evil doesn't come from God. It comes from devil tempting us plus making us sin. I explained people doing good/bad(I'm aware some people don't belive and still do good things). Still, you can't consider that there's no good at all in this world if you know what's evil. You need to know one thing to know the opposite of it(for example big and small). God does allow evil, however it's for a specific reason and He's still not the one who's doing it and making it happen.
Again, hell is pure evil, because there's no God AT ALL, Heaven is pure good because there is God, pure good. And the world itself isn't departed from God like for hell, it still isn't like Heaven either.

@TRLGhere4 if "god" is good then why did your god create methane gas?

@Peaceandnamaste Well, the Bible actually says in plain black and white:-

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

(Isaiah 45:7)

But some tend to pick and choose from the Good Book, building up their own particular theologies of doom and gloom.

@Peaceandnamaste I'm really sorry but I don't really understand your question (english is not my first language)
Nvm, I think I understood
God created everything for a reason. We may not know the excat, specific reason why is that, but there is a reason that He knows, and we know that it's His plan(as a part of the reason behind a creation)
Like for example we can question why did He make humans aswell, but it's something He knows because it's His plan for it to exist

Still, I might've misunderstood your question so I'm really sorry in case I did
