> TLDR of a Christian perspective: Here is another Christian (Catholic even) perspective. > God is love. [...] God knows what choice we will make, but does not force it. > It does not follow, that if humans refuse to love, God should nullify all consequences. If the omniscient, omnipotent God knows what choice we will make, He may not have forced it, but He did set the conditions and dynamic systems for this choice to happen, as He already knows, ahead of time. It's basically the same. There lies the contradiction (or let's call it paradox) of that argument. > On that note, Hell was not made for humans but for Satan, and we as humans have only the ability to choose love (God) or absence of love (Hell). A person who has chosen to not love, logically cannot live with love itself. Viewing it as humans choosing to damn themselves by refusing to love, would be a more accurate perspective. That is why Hell/Heaven is likely more a matter of (changing) perspective (how do I live/act with what I have) rather than a definitive objective place. Hell/Heaven is not some mythical afterlife meritocratic estate, it's firstly right here, right now, in each of us, the sum of all our actions and relationships. And that is consistent with what is in the scriptures, what psychology and neuroscience tells us, and what common daily experience shows. This is also why the "God is love" mantra is a good thing as long as it's not tweaked into a bizarre reverse way to justify that non-believers/observants of a specific ruleset of a specific religion have chosen to not love, or are "unsaved" and should therefore either be converted or suppressed.
