I believe that some stuff in the Bible is supposed to be taken literally and some stuff is supposed to be taken metaphorically as I believe God still spoke in parables himself. Also, I do sometimes have problems whenever people say that all Jewish and all Muslim people are "going to Hell", considering those are still closely related religions to my own. If the Jewish person or Muslim person wasn't one of the violent, extremist ones and was always nice to other people, for example, I think something might have to work out, especially relating to young children in those religions. Even though I'm Protestant (Methodist to be exact), I think the Catholic and Orthodox belief in Purgatory might sound sensible within this scenario. I also believe God is very forgiving, and I think many of these fundamentalists who make him out to be this "tyrant" are not practicing TRUE Christianity. In fact, I think they might as well be the reason why so many people are turning to atheists nowadays, which I know you're one.
