1. Could the terms eternal and immortal (as in Gods) be considered in a different way not as living forever but more as being remembered forever ? As long as people remember something it shall forever be eternal no ?
2. What does God currently do with his time ? He showed up 2,000 years ago to preach to a primitive version of man who had only just really discovered complex languages and the ability to write and of produce Jesus Christ, then he just dissapeared apparantly leaving his creations and the world to rot
3. Is believing in a God not enough ? Surely as long as you believe there could be a God would be enough to an all loving God as it is recognition of his existance. The whole believe or burn in hell for eternity just doesn't seem logical as example of free choice to me, sure I have the choice to believe but the decision would be biased as noone who is sane would choose burning in hell for eternity now would they ?
5. If God created man in his own image (as said in the bible) and we all know man is capable of deception and lies then surely God can also be deviant and liar ? Could he not have made up things when conveying his teachings through Jesus in order to deceive us all ? Also we know man is very imperfect as a species if we follow on with the whole man being an image of God then does that not make God imperfect as well ?

4. Following on from 3.... If none believers supposedly burn in hell for eternity, what happened to all those none believers who were never informed of "insert religion here" or in the case of jeudasim were not born into the religion (correct me if I'm wrong but it's true you can't be a Jew unless you were born into it no ?) ? For this I'm talking about people like Ancient Greeks, Ancient Egyptians, Druids, Inca's etc basically people who either lived before the time of religions we have today or where the word of the religion never spread to. Do they really burn in hell for eternity when they never had the chance to believe ?
