OK, it's obvious you love God, but you don't love people. God loves people, but He doesn't always love what people do, but He has given the gift of free will. Only through trusting Him, will our free will align with God's purpose.
Yet you mock God.

That you treat it as if it were some sort of blessed, religious experience endorsed by your God, in my opinon, actually demonstrates just how far away from your God you truly are.
Imagine a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole. Under these circumstances, would you endorse her so-called right to be to get pregnant, keep custody, and then rear said child in prison for the rest of her days.
And suppose the laws of your society were as follows; “Born in prison, stay in prison,” so that even after the death of the mother, the child must remain in prison for the rest of his/her life, never to see the light of day?
I ask these questions because if you were to look around this world – your history of violence, murder, Inquisitions in the name of God, Wars in the name of God, famines in the name of God, the destruction of resources, the polluting of your air, and water, combined with the ever increasing violent nature of your children… I mean, really look at it. How is it possible to imagine you are living in anything but a prison - a Hell of your own making?
And if you truly believe that there is a God answering your prayers, then you have to ask yourselves – where is the evidence that your prayers are being answered?
Oh, I forgot, you just brought that shinny new Rolls Royce you were praying to god for. And Jr. just got into college. And your football team won the world championship, because god was on their side. Oh, and you got laid last night after praying to God all day to send you a honey. Ooh baby! That was some righteous poon-tang! Praise the Lord!!
Meanwhile, most of the Christians on this planet are praying for Armageddon - the complete destruction of this world, and for all the so-called evildoers to be thrown into Hell for ALLLLL ETERNITY! Can I get an Amen! Brother and sisters!! Come on Armageddon!
But from the days of Zarathustra, on up through Jesus, every prophet from your God has essentially delivered the same message, “This planet ain’t your home, wake up, and get the hell off of it.” But you keep getting stuck in the contradictions of Genesis, and “Being fruitful and multiplying.” Why, because it feels good!
But why would your God want you to multiply in a place, She doesn’t even want you existing in the first place? LOL!!!
The beauty of this illusion called Hell, is that on the outside it looks just good enough, and has ample bells and whistles to lull you into unconsciousness.
But even the most beautiful woman on the planet, can crap a load that’ll stink to high heavens.

I don't live in Hell.
My life is quite comfortable, quite free. Could my life be more "Free"? Sure. But my life still aint Hell.
Folks point at the horrible things in the world and say "This Is Hell!", but hell, that's usually being melodramatic. For most people, Life is kinda nice.
The Christian concept of Hell? Eh, I found that rather vague and unconvincing even when I was religious.

??? Don't get ya.
It's not a Zero Sum Game. I benefit. I hope my employer benefits from my work. I hope my employers customers benefit from the goods and services that I provide through him.
But this is a thread about Hell, not Economics Theory.

Reality is the only illusion - it is a relative reality...and totally dependent upon the perspective and state of mind a person view their reality with. I think it is more the various means of deceiving self and others that makes it a place for the dead....after their slow death by self-justification and denial of their own free will. We lie to ourselves so effectively that we don't realize, when we arrive, that we only just left here! How can we think about heaven when we are in a revolving door karma machine?

You get the best tables at resturants. Never have to worry about over-exposure to the sun. Your not black, or white or any race for that matter. So the only people who discriminate against you those who have a problem with me being devilish, and even them, one look and they run away.
I like what you say, although I disagree with the effectiveness of Karma in determining what happens next. In the astral plane - that little place where all spirits head to between manifestions, has become completely over-run with dark spirits, who act as karmic agents to fascilitate the next incarnation.
karma is
constant every second
not how the universe
repays you but how
you repay
the universe
Light beings tend to get placed where they'll get slapped around by life in hopes that they will loose faith, give in, or just simply sleep. So it's not action/reaction any more. It's who will do the best work for death in this world.

I would like you to quote the place in this thread where I mock God. I reject the Bible as the word of God. I call the god of the Bible, according to the bible, a murderer, liar, angry, vengful, freightening, "kill em all!" being, pretending to be God.
But you won't find me mocking the true God.
