SACREDBE | MARCH 1, 2011 10:27 PM
The most fundamental of Biblical fundamentals is that God is not just ‘good’ but that he is holy.
We humans only need to take a close look at ourselves to see that we fall short of holiness.
A description of holiness could be ‘perfection of being’ which leaves us humans in exactly the same boat.
If God is perfection logic demands that he cannot accept anything less than perfection. Can perfection be joined to imperfection and remain perfect?
God’s love was displayed, as was his perfect justice, when Christ paid the price of imperfection (sin) on our behalf in his own body on the Cross. Those that reject Christ’s sacrifice reject God’s love, and perfect justice disallows them from relationship with God.
All life comes from God and is eternal, therefore those who have been given life and reject Christ will eternally be isolated from God. God is love but one's response to his gift of love in Christ determines one's eternity. The ball is in your court.
Eternal isolation from God is hell. The fact that hell is also hot and dark makes its probable situation in the centre of the earth or similar.
If your god is less than perfect, if he is not holy then he is not God.

From your comments one can only deduce that your system of belief is evolution, if this is correct your god can only be blind mindless chance.
It has been said that men make god in their own image, and although the opposite is true (we have been made in the image of God), we can happily reverse that and say that all that man is, in sensibility, in will, in being, is a finite image of the infinite God.
Is blind mindless chance the god you have made?
