As Vizzini would say . . . "it is completely and in every other way INCONCEIVABLE!!!!" Besides . . . the loving and accepting God I have met is not rejectable . . . His presence is too overwhelmingly joyous.
But to play in your superstitious fantasy world where such lunacy is routinely accepted . . . I would be completely incredulous and devastated if such an abomination turned out to be real. The questions I would ask would need an unimaginable explanation to make it acceptable to me. I doubt even Almighty God could have such an explanation.

He would not be able to wipe away the tears i would be weeping eternally for all those suffering in eternal torment , whether they be family,friends or stranger.
But praise be to God !!!!!!!!!!! What is impossible with man is possible with God . His arm is not short to save .
Eternal Torment is age lasting, and ended at the close of the Mosaic age. The only record Biblically of people tormented in Hell are Jews, covenantal people, bound to the reverse effects of apostacy. Anyone outside of covenant with God is dead and without the spirit of life. They simply, return to the dust from whence they came. The only person that is given eternal life, is those who believe in Christ. Consistency behooves you to search the scripture further.
Well as for me, I submit to God. I don't need to understand why He does things. I just need to say OK Lord Your will be done.
I chose to not put conditions on God for me to be in relationship with Him. If that were the case, I would point to human suffering and say, I don't like the way you allow stuff. Unless You behave in a way to my liking I will reject you.
To me to say I would reject God, because of Hell, is the same as saying I reject God, because my ways are better than God. I am kind of hearing this in the previous posts.
And let's not be so sure of our understanding of scripture when it means if we are wrong about this point of doctrine then we reject God. Frankly if I am wrong about Hell, I won't reject God. Truth is Truth and God is God. I am frankly surprised that UR folk would reject God
The responses to this thread are shocking and sad.
So if God doesn't fit into the mold you made of Him you will reject Him? Wow.
