Many versions, all unconvincing but none as bad as the Christian god's: "Believe in me or burn in Hell for eternity."
You don't understand Christianity.
quote:
the acceptance or the rejection of God's grace depends entirely on the rational creatures; that God, like the sun, never stops shining on good or wicked alike; that rational creatures are, however, entirely free to accept or reject this grace and love; and that God in His genuine love does not force His creatures to accept Him, but respects absolutely their free decision. He does not withdraw His grace and love, but the attitude of the logical creatures toward this unceasing grace and love is the difference between paradise and hell. Those who love God are happy with Him, those who hate Him are extremely miserable by being obliged to live in His presence, and there is no place where one can escape the loving omnipresence of God.

I always thought the catholic concept of purgatory was a comforting one. While it is completely baseless in scripture, it solves the moral dilemma of what happens to people who are decent, but not perfect, flawed but not evil. It creates a framework where heaven and hell are for the best of the best in both directions and those in the middle can earn their way into either one. It provides opportunities for redemption even after death. It’s definitely a comforting philosophical tool, don’t you think?

And you don't understand logic. Luxuriate in your realm of faith while I do the thinking for you.
