God's Love

I had an interesting chat with a Jesuit brother the other day. It started with witchcraft, sorcery and other supernatural stuff but later ended up about God's love. He mentioned that St. Joan of Arc (yes the French girl who led the nation against the mighty and might I say bloody English) once said that God's love is so great that He can't bear to see you suffer in hell. That's why most likely, hell doesn't exist.

But then again, there's also the side of God where justice abounds. Is it fair to live a life full of rape, massacre, robbery, rape, grand larceny, rape and arson (did I mention rape?) and still get to go to heaven along with your victims?

Here's a thought (bear with my line of thinking):

1. Will you go to hell for something you did that you never realized was untrue?

2. Isn't it taught in Christianity that you are assured a place in hell for blasphemy?

3. Isn't it taught in Christianity that God's love is unconditional?

4. Am I wrong in saying that biblehuggers consciously forward conditional Christianity messages in the hopes of testing one's faith?

5. Will they be punished for their misinformations?

Was it told in the bible that there is a hell and there are prerequisites to go there? God would never lie though the writers can
