If Christians got what was fair, we would go to hell too. But God has given an extra gift to those who believe in Him and His salvation, which is to go to Heaven even though they deserve hell.

So I'm going to be punished by a diety I don't believe exists for "sin" that only exists if I believe if I believe in said diety? How can I be punished by a God I don't believe is real? This concept sounds like paying for childcare if you don't have a child. One question I have about this is if God is so loving and forgiving why send everyone to suffer for all eternity in the first place?
