I have always thought so as well. On the one hand Christians tell me that the love of God is pure and on a level we mere mortals can't begin to comprehend. But then on the other hand his one and only punishment for any deviation from the path is to fling you into a pit of fire for all eternity. A fate that I would not inflict apon my worse enemy. Which would make me more compassionate than God. That probably shouldn't be possible.

It also seems a little weird that all people get the same punishment. Some guy born in India who grows up a Hindu but never harms anyone his whole life gets......Pit of fire forever. Hitler who directly gassed 6 million Jews and started a war that killed 50 million people? Yep, you guessed it. Same punishment as the completely peaceful Hindu guy. Seems fair. LOL!
