–Bertrand Russell had this to say:
“There is one very serious defect to my mind in Christ’s moral character, and that is that he believed in hell. I do not myself feel that any person who is really profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment.”
Since Jesus is the most humane person to ever live - perhaps this view is missing something!
