• Surveys show that many people are more likely to

  contrary to their personal preference and 2)
  many have a wrong concept of Gods love and the
  punishment of evil

The Problem of Eternal Hell

• If God is all-loving, then why punish the wicked
  at all why not rehabilitate them?
• If punishment is justified, then why punish the
  wicked for ever why not have a temporary hell?
• If the wicked need punishment, why hell why not
  annihilation?
• If God is all-loving, why punish anyone why not
  save everyone including the wicked?
