Dear God Almighty:
Although I do not believe You exist, I would like to make a few points and ask a few questions of you in hopes of, that if you do exist, you will perhaps grant me the honour of knowing these things.
1. If You care for everybody, why do You send people to hell to suffer for eternity? I mean, hell for a year or even 100 is one thing (Ekimklaw likens You sending people to hell to punishing a child, but nobody sends their child to time-out for eternity), however eternity? Sorry, Sir, but I have to question Your love for Your creations. Perhaps you could explain why even evil people get sent to hell? If I loved an (immortal) evil person, while I may be able to bring myself to send them to jail, I certainly wouldn't be able to bring myself to burn them in a fire for them to suffer for all eternity. Perhaps You have a reason, please enlighten me Sir.
2. If You love Your creations, why do You tempt them towards hell with such false evidences as fossil evidence of evolution, dinosaur bones, &c.? If You love them so, why not show Yourself to Your creations as definitive proof that You exist so that they will be offered a chance out of the "new" Pascal's Wager (You're all-knowing, so I won't give You references since You know what I mean) and a chance out of hell? Billions are condemned to hell, yet You could easily save these innocent people by simply giving them definitive proof that You existed. Sorry, but I don't think a 2000-year-old book compiled by bureaucrats of the 8th century that tells of people witnessing You is evidence enough for most people unless they have been raised with You from birth.
3. While many people make the case that You do not interfere with our earthly affairs (thus letting millions of innocent lives perish, as well as millions of young souls raped, severely injured, &c.), I personally would much rather be controlled directly by You like a robot than to live in pain and suffering. Perhaps You could cure me of my disease and pain? It's honestly unbearable, and one of the main reasons I'm going to hell. Also, did You not know about what would and will happen to mankind before You created us? Why did You create us then? Frankly, I'm not very grateful that You created us when You knew we would live to kill and rape and injure. And what about random things like tay-sachs, why don't You even protect God-fearing Christians from such things?
4. I would rather have never existed than to have witnessed pain and suffering and underwent it myself. Perhaps you could grant me this wish and destroy my existance from day 1? I have no wish to commit suicide, however.
Sincerely,
Non-believer Mark Williamson
