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?

For a bit more Calvinism I forgot to explain: yes, you and every human born is inherently sinful and deserving of hell from the moment of conception. You personally did nothing to warrant it, it's just a deep, intractable part of your nature.

Yes, this means that babies go to hell, in the same way adults do. This is a facet of covenant theology, which views human/God interactions as bound by covenants; basically programming in conditions into the 'way things work', which are modifiable

If they’re so consistent then how do they reconcile the exact paradox you’re describing? The flawed human excuse doesn’t hold with me because the entire Christian belief system is centered around the premise that humans can understand spiritual morality.

Heard an interesting comment on a podcast (Rise & Fall of Mars Hill) that reformed theology is particularly appealing to people coming from other traditions that have more vague theology, whether generic evangelical or probably lukewarm mainline protestant. Seems likely.

my parents were reformed, and both were new converts from the family and culture of their upbringing
