>>> what is the point of creating us and then wiping us all out for no reason! ... I just don't get it! Why will I go to hell?? ....it's very unfair!

What do you mean "It is not for us to decide that it is unjust". Well if you can't decide! ... I'll tell ya!! ... it's extremely bloody unjust!

To create us, test us by giving us life and the send us to hell forever if we don't believe in him shows he has a nasty nature!!! ..... I mean ... it's just a rotten thing to do!

Why didn't he just make us all christian in the first place and send us straight to heaven and not bother making the planet... after all it would have been a big job burrying all those dinosaur bones, not to mention creating all those other galaxies! ... ooops ....pardon me! .... I remember! ... he had a rest didn't he!
