Only thru Jesus can you be with God again.

By that theory we can have 2 scenarios.

1. I could be a "saint". I could donate to charity, help out people who are sick and never commit a crime, but i don't accept jesus, so i go to hell (because as the bible teaches, you don't get into heaven on good deeds alone). Or..

2. I am a serial killer and rapist for most of my life. Then on my death bed, i ask jesus for forgiveness and i get into heaven.

Neither of those sound very "just" to me. Not to mention my last point of kids suffering with things like cancer. Also doesn't sound very "loving" to me

And I'll pick just one verse of many from the bible, which proves that god is actually quite violent

Joshua 6 verse 21 -They devoted the city to the lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
