Your complaint is common, twisting God into a petty sadist, but that’s a straw man. A loving God doesn’t doom us for stumbling over doctrine—He’s the one who opens eyes to truth.

We’re not punished for being imperfect by design; our ruin traces back to a rebellion we’re born into, a nature that rejects Him.

Eternal torment isn’t some unhinged overreaction; it’s the fitting end for souls that, left to themselves, cling to darkness over light.

God’s not deranged for letting justice roll; He’s holy. You scoff at the outcome, but the marvel is He spares anyone at all.
