Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

Q) why are people sent to hell according to religious holy books?A) because they are or have committed some grave evil and need to be punished.R) that is a bit odd considering god was meant to have created everything. and everything must include evil the devil temptations and the like.no a benevolent god would not burn us for what he created us to be. 'free will' does not factor, we do not choose to be Born, most of us do not choose to die and we definitely did not opt for evil to be an existent.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

A benevolent God would send people to hell, but not people who had absolutely no chance of knowing him.The question as asked is absolutely malformed. You ask one general question in the title (would a benevolent God send people to hell), yet, in the explanation, you ask a totally different one (would a benevolent God send people who have no chance of knowing him to hell). While God would send people who rejected him to hell, he wouldn't send people who couldn't know him.So while I sided with the no's, I'm only siding them because in the case of the SPECIFIC question you asked, I don't believe he would. But in the case of the GENERAL question, with which you have misled people, I think yes, God would send some people to hell, despite his benevolence.

I don't believe so. Even though I was born into Catholic religion (had no choice in the matter, so I ran away from it later in life), virtually a SHAME society that puts down almost anything that they may see as "against God's will" (basically everything), I do not believe that just because I didn't follow the rules of a certain religion that I would be placed in an Inferno for all eternity. Although I know that there are somthings that I have done which would seem inapporpriate, I'm certain that they won't put me on the Big Man's S&%* List when I pass on.I believe that as long as you are kind to others and have goodness in your heart, you won't be sent to hell.You people can flame me all you want, but I'm standing firm on this one.

Side: No, it's incompatible

The premise of this argument is flawed from the start, but I'll bite for arguments sake. It depends on your definition of a god. If god is "omnibenevolent" then the idea of sending someone to "hell" is incompatible with this characteristic. Of course "hell" is a made up place created by Christianity to scare nonbelievers into accpeting Jesus and "god" is a made up entity created by society as a foundation of authority to demand/incentivize civil behavior.

Im sure ive read somewhere in some bible someone saying " something , something , hell on earth."Im taking that as a hint , meaning that regardless of what god is or isnt , we are already in hell . Every one of us.Sharing this gloriously spectacular hell , that we take for granted.

Erm, no. That's too cynical a view - what of all the things that definitely are good, then? Nature, for instance?"Disease, war, murder, rape, racism, sexist [sic], ageism, and hatred" - the laundry list of sins quoted by Prayerfails comes about due to the sin nature. We became imperfect at the Fall of Adam and Eve.

Fine its pergatory then ....good and bad ,...... the choice is yours ,( unless you are some innocent child with fucked global positioning of your birthplace ), then its your own fault that you are held accountable for ..... succumbing to the temptations that are placed upon this earth but concidered sinful , no matter how enticing and should be penalised for it , ...... obnoxiously live your life stuck up the guides of your religions and pass the buck for arrogance in confession and smile smuggly with warmth and contentment as you take the blame for two absolute strangers , .............pick and choose for yourself that of which you assume god intends you not to partake in.....ye oddities of pliable matter.btw- im curious , why have apples never stopped being eaten ? Is it because sin tastes so damned good?

Yes, Hell is on Earth. I agree with that. If there is a afterlife, can't imagine it being much worse than this: Disease, war, murder, rape, racism, sexist, ageism, and hatred.If people want to live on what on a book called the bible, fine, I just don't want to hear about it.

God means love, understanding...............God is the root of all goodness..................
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: RAWR

God could be non-benevolent, and also the root of all evil as well? Actually, i think it would be necessary for God to be the root of everything; good, evil, apples, your underwear, etc.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: You Have A Choice

God could not be the root of all evil as well because then evil wouldn't have a meaning because all would be good. Who else defines the basic rules of right and wrong? Well, who was it that wove the fabric of the universe into place, created and balanced all the intricate constraints for which we exist?But then for all to be good would contradict an infinite, all-knowing being through which all existence exists. Because it would mean that this infinite, all-knowing being through which all existence exists, is merely like us, subject to all the selfish and evil desires we all are. And if that were true, then this being is not God, but merely pretending to be God.However, concerning this being for which all existence exists, there could be no other position except that which was good because evil could only exist in those that choose to take a position of going against what they know this being would say.

Excuse me... assuming that you are a Christian, let me introduce a bit of information about your religion.Isaiah 45: 5-7 states- "I am the Lord, and there is none else beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."I would love to here your thoughts on this scripture.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes, they rejected him

I assume you're referring to that last part because the rest of it doesn't seem to contradict anything.In the NIV, it uses the word "disaster," not evil. If that's what Isaiah means by "evil," as in those days they probably considered anything that harmed people to be evil, even nuetral things like disease, natural disasters, and wars, which fell upon all, good or bad. In that case the Isaiah may not be referring to sin, and that was just a translational issue where the word can mean more than one thing. Evil as in bad things that happen, or actual evil such as Satan or sin. (I mean, evil was probably our best word to say the same thing that the other language said.)However, if you want to say that Isaiah meant actual evil, such as sin, this can also be explained.What is "evil?" Evil is disobedience to God or in laymen's terms, "sin." However, in order to actually disobey God and commit evil sin, someone had to create that option. Well, who could create the option to sin but God? No one could.Thus God created the choice by giving us the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So it can be argued, loosely, that God created evil even though God really just created the choice, but we still can choose not to partake in the evil of sin.

Hell does not exist. Hell was a doctrine developped in the 4th century based on Plato's teachings of the duality of body and soul and the Dante's inferno in his Divine Comedy poem. There is no support for it in the Bible.

Dude this is a deity that does things far beyond our comprehension and understanding. Who are we as mortals who exist for a fucking fart in time to question him? This is an immortal being that either created us or has the right to tell us what to do. I'd think what he/it has to say would transcend our petty view of what's good and evil. Besides, say the atheists are right and there is nothing after death. So what? I'm in the same position as them. But what if there is an afterlife and the people who believe win and those to lazy and livid lose?

God wouldn't need to create humans or have people worship him / her if he did. Secondly being all powerful and knowing why create beings that you know are going to suffer from starvation, diseases, etc. Those of you who have a pet dog and love them wouldn't consider allowing them to suffer they way humans do or send them to hell.

The religions that influence most people's everyday lives at almost every level all preach the same thing: The creater is all loving, peacefull, mercifull and so on....that is they say so in one moment...yet in the next momemt: That loving, peaceful and mericful benevolence has a set of terms and conditions of:-whether people believe in him or not-how obiedient and faithfull they are to "him" ("him" as if a divine being could even be assumed to have a biological gender in the first place) -how good people are in their everyday lives

No he wouldn't because its not him that has the final say he gave us free will to reject or accept him and weather we go to hell or not is the actions we do through out lives accepting that Jesus is your Saviour is suppose to grant you a place in heaven but going to church and praying is bring you closer to god but all god wants is you to have faith in him and accept his son, and going to hell is by our hand but if we ask for forgiveness we shall be given it by god.

Assuming God exists, and that He is benevolent, it would logically follow that he does not actively send people to Hell. A benevolent God would not impose anything on anyone, therefore, the question is flawed.

Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes, they rejected him

Except, Biblically, ghosts are impossible.1) If ghosts came back from the dead, and an eternal and present hell existed for them to tell you about it, they'd actually not be in hell anymore. Thus, the idea refutes itself.2) The Bible refutes the idea of an eternal hell. Look on the left side for my argument concerning hell.3) The Bible refutes the idea of ghosts, as is visible in the same argument.If you would like, I could paste the argument to one below this one (or, more accurately, your comment on this one) if you don't want to look for it.-----P.S. I would also like to respectfully ask you to use proper punctuation, capitalization, spacing, and spelling. It would make your posts a bit easier to read.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes guilty people go to hell

Why wouldn't He send someone to hell? He sent satan to hell and was created for him and whoever else chooses to follow satan. The majority of people have their own belief of God and how we were created. In the bible, it states that we once knew one language, but he separated us across the world with a different language. We are all unique so why should he brainwash us and have diversity. I think religion was spread out very harshly, specially how the christians did it through the ages, like the crusades. Back to the subject. I don't believe he would sent a non believer to hell, if he himself didn't know he existed. Why would he punish and innocent being for the fact of his lack of knowledge around him. A believer could go to hell because he knows the words of god but chooses to not follow them. Why is this? Maybe he deceived people for his own well being, greed. Deceiving one is having to lead an innocent person down the wrong path. So I believe He, whoever it may be, will send those who deserve to be punished to go to hell. Why would he want a rapist for example lingering around those who could become victims? He wouldn't and neither would I.

Side: Don't Speak

Would a benevolent God send people to hell? Is that more likely than the more likely chance that "God" just doesn't care (for the sake of argument that he/she/it does exist).Would you care about the suffering of 1 man in the sea of 6 billion. Even caring for humanity as a whole is redundant, seeing as how we murder more and more of us through wars and the like, but doesn't matter because we populate the world like locusts. Humanity isn't going anywhere, just it's quality of life is changing.

Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

No. In our daily lives, a major factor in making decisions (especially important ones) is our ability to analyze the available evidence and make (or change) our minds accordingly. This is the very skill that, for better or worse, allows us to dominate the food chain and manipulate our world more thoroughly than any other organism. It is also the skill that allows us to recognize and correct the many mistakes we tend to make. Faith, at least blind faith, runs counter to that skill. If our soul's final destination is of such grave importance, it does not seem benevolent to require us to rely on faith to understand the consequences of our actions. It would be benevolent to make Heaven and Hell places that we all could see, touch and experience before they become a part of our eternal reality. Regardless of whether Hell is place where you go for misdeeds or a place you "choose" by failure to love/accept God/Jesus, it seems anything but benevolent to make the consequences of our decision (to say nothing of our reasons for forming that decision) contingent on a concept (faith) that runs counter to our ability to make informed decisions. It seems more likely to be a political ploy by the very human creators of religion to manipulate the actions of the superstitious.

You know, your right. If that was the reason God sent people to hell He wouldn't do it, because he is a just God. But I do think He would do it for the crimes people have committed and if you've committed no crimes, you've got nothing to worry about. Because He wouldn't send you somewhere you didn't deserve to go.

How could we possibly answer that? We haven't actually had a conversation with god.Anyway, hell is based on the old testament --and god is a truly evil, vengeful , malicious god, so yes he would definitely send people to hell. The culture at the time the bible was written allowed for atrocities anyway.The new testament - supposedly a more benevolent god? Well, yep he would. Break one his commandments and your arse is shipped to the inferno. So now i'm answering 2 questions: 1) the god in the bible would send people to hell. 2) A benevolent god wouldn't though.Ergo -- god is not a benevolent god. Assuming there is a god, which there isn't.

Just had a thought. Over 2000 years ago, and probably still today, I bet fires were kept going 24/7. Not like they had a box of matches or a lighter.It truly would be an everlasting flame for people to be burned on. Plus any sick person could be burning up with a fever, hence their feelings of heat. The word hell dates back to pagan times and I believe bonfires were quite common. Anyway, could be the difference between a burial or a cremation, just a thought.

I keep coming back to this thought every time I consider religion, because you're not sent to hell just for not believing something, it can also be for a sin.This confuses me for two reasons:1) Can someone really do such a terrible thing that they deserve to be punished for eternity.and2) How is that fair to the people who had absolutely no way of learning the "word of God", should they be punished because they simply didn't know. I could be wrong on both accounts, I'm not religious by any means, and I haven't done much research into Christianity due to the fact I live in the south and have already made my decision on it.

Nobody is, by any means, purely evil. Hell is intended for evil people. People do wrong for a reason, whether it be insecurity, a traumatic past, a psychological disorder, etc. Eve is responsible for all of the faults of the world by eating the bad apple. But Eve's intention behind eating the bad apple was not purely evil. It is the evil gods who persuade people into doing wrong by exploiting their weaknesses, not evil. It is the evil gods, not the people, who should be sent to hell.

Have you ever considered that faith in any god is a product of temporal and geographical circumstance? My philosophical problem is that, in spite of all efforts made by Christians to follow Jesus’ directive to spread the word (Matthew 28:16-20), there will always have been people who have been not exposed to the knowledge of Jesus.For example, one could have been born in Meso-America or China in the year 500 and not had exposure to the information about Jesus. And those people will not have been “saved”, thus not allowed entry into heaven after their deaths. Am I correct in stating this? And this is what I mean by temporal and geographical circumstance.How do you reconcile the idea that people who were never given the opportunity to accept or reject what you believe to be the only way to salvation being destined to an eternity in hell? I can’t. I cannot say that, because I was “lucky” enough to be born in Christian America and accepted that belief system, I am entitled to heaven, which seems to be a fortunate accident for me and an incredible misfortune for those not.

I picked this side because I'm not quite sure where how I feel stands, but this seems like a good part.I would say that god wouldn't send everyone to hell for ETERNITY, just long enough for you to learn your lessons, and then send you back to earth for round two.
