[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re essentially asking why I, as a believing person, don’t worry God is wrong and exercising poor judgment. [/quote]

Why do you think that it is moral for people to suffer forever, assuming that they didn't cause that much suffering in their lives? I'd genuinely like to understand your perspective.

Also, do you think that believers have a moral obligation to try to convince others to convert?

You’re assuming not only that I believe in Hell, but that I believe souls go there merely for not converting to my religion. Since that is not what I believe (and would think that was poor judgment and a mistake by God) I don’t worry about that.

My aunt and uncle are Jehovah’s Witnesses and do believe that and work very hard to convert people. [/quote]

Thanks. If you feel comfortable answering, what do you think God will send people to Hell for, and why is eternal punishment appropriate for people who didn't cause eternal suffering?

By the way, my understanding is that Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in Hell--instead, death for people who don't go to heaven or live forever on Earth.

I don’t think about it. As I said twice now, I think if Hell were wrong it would be a mistake of God’s. I don’t believe he made a mistake so I don’t worry about what “scorecard” he keeps for those decisions.

You’re right about JWs. I just meant they think conversion is an important thing and a worthy life’s work because conversion is outcome-determinative. [/quote]
