The brand of theology I grew up in was pretty brutal. Why did God make hell, and people who were gonna go to hell? We believed in predestination, so He *knew* he was making ppl who He was actively sending to hell. Why?

I kinda view it as the rigorous autism of Christianity; it's nerds who take the concepts very seriously and paint themselves into a moral corner and get out of it by concluding their own moral sense must be off

I always used to come back with: well that’s nice for you the “elect”, but if you’re predestined to hell that’s a pretty awful straw you drew. That’s not the God I read in the rest of the Book.

I converted myself into Calvanism for those same reasons. I thought I was stronger and more rigorous by eliminating ambiguities until I was left with the bleak picture of Calvanism.
It took a couple years but I left the Christian system because of this and haven't looked back.
