Sending us to hell for not believing in it is sadistic.

It would only be sadistic if you believed in Hell, otherwise you would just continue with your usual behaviour with a shrug of the shoulders!

It is perfectly possible to believe in something of which you have no evidence. We do it every day in countless ways, indeed believing in a god would be a doddle after some of the things I have believed in because I desperately wanted them to be true! frown
