Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.
Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.
Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

How do you reconcile the idea of a good God worthy of worship with the God who created a bunch of sentient people just to torture them for eternity.
An all-powerful deity can create any universe they want. An all-knowing deity knows exactly how it will all turn out. Then this deity creates a bunch of people they know will misbehave and then punish them for that misbehavior with eternal torment.
To me this sounds an awful lot like leaving a kid in a room with candy, telling them "don't eat this, it's bad for you", then beating them senseless when they eat it anyway.
