the concept of a system of existence that includes permanent separation from god with any of his creation (including humans) is beyond my comprehension.

in the beginning was god. all else from there was created and designed by god. god had COMPLETE creative control on how the system would work. why would god choose a system that according to traditional christian belief means that probably more than half of created "souls" will be permanently separated from their creator (all muslims, buddhists, hindus, gnostics, etc from all time)?

why wouldn't there be a simple fail-safe like the idea of reincarnation which still preserves free-will by the possibility of endless cycles for those who will never choose to reconnect with the creator, while not allowing anyone to be "lost?" that would maintain free-will as much or more than a system that sets free-will as "either love me(god) or burn and suffer forever!" i don't understand (though i respect) how anyone can see that as free-will.

somehow a system of 100% success sounds more like the plan of a god that is LOVE. it would not have to compromise the HOLINESS of god at all either since there would still always be temporary separation until the soul came to a "readied" place.
