At this point, I'm gonna bring the lack of proof of religion into it. A popular argument amongst Christians for why hell is explanatory is because of the idea of educating yourself on the bible. They claim that if you had the time and place to educate yourself on the bible, and you didn't, it was a fault of your own for being ignorant and not Christian. But this argument doesn't hold up in situations when someone DID indeed educate themselves on the bible but found its teachings immoral and unlikely to be true. If someone is an atheist, but spent all the time he could educating himself on the bible, but found that what they read led them to believe that god is in fact not real and not all loving, this leads them to be an atheist, how is it justifiable that they go to hell, as you don't choose what you believe?

Also, why would a perfectly just god not give people an opportunity to escape hell? if he is all loving, why does he not give the loved ones a chance for repentance or improvement so they can join him in heaven? If you have a child for example, and you give that child an option of either joining you in your house or living in the streets, and the child chooses to live in the streets, It's his choice at the end of the day, so it's not your fault. But if that child changed his mind, and said "Dad I wanna come back to you, I miss you and I was wrong." Im sure any good and loving father would agree and welcome his son back. Why does god not do the same to his children, especially that in the biblical context hell is far worse of a fate than the streets?

think Hell itself is a morally justifiable concept, but the punishment of hell being eternal in no way is. Christians largely believe that our ability to determine right from wrong is god given. that there IS absolute morality and that god gave us the ability to distinguish what deserves to be punished and what does not. So using that logic, god gave me the ability to make my own opinion on what is wrong and what is right as well. We humans program our justice system in such a way that the punishment almost always fits the crime. Something like theft will mostly never come with serious or eternal consequences as it doesn't have an eternal effect on anyone. But crimes such as murder mostly warrant life imprisonment, as that crime has an eternal effect, which warrants an eternal punishment. So if god gave us the ability to tell good from bad, and we humans believe and acknowledge that the punishment must fit the crime, meaning a finite punishment should never be punished with an eternal one, Why is it different in the context of Christianity? IF god is all-powerful and he made hell, why would he structure it in such a way that those who are in there are suffering eternal punishment? if he has the option to create it in such a way where hell is focused more on rehabilitation and repentance rather than punishment, (Which is what the justice system today strives for) why does he not do that?

I don't believe that the sheer act of not believing in God's existence is disrespectful or offensive. God does not give people a clear path to his holiness. It's largely influenced by your upbringing and your experiences in life. IF god is all-powerful and all-loving, he would be fair, and the punishment of hell is not fair, as it sends people to eternally suffer for finite crimes. there's no moral justification for why someone is supposed to eternally suffer under a perfectly good and all-powerful being. He created hell, meaning he structured hell for it to be that way. he could have very much made it different and so people don't have to suffer for eternity. IF god is all good, why did he create evil in the first place? why does he structure life so children get cancer, there is rape, cancer, and other very cruel things in the world. Even if god isn't the cause of these things, why does he give humans the urges or desires to engage in such acts?
