Disbelief is not a choice, making eternal punishment unjust.
I am trying to understand the common idea present in most religions in general(mostly abrahamic but in a way extends to other religions). I am not going to target any specific religion. But the idea of being guided by God or a Devil(acc to religion) and disbelief leading to burning forever in hell is common in most religions.
I have come to the conclusion that you can't choose to disbelieve in God. Because first of all choosing to disbelieve requires knowing/believing that God exists. And second of all for people who never knew or believed in God for example maybe a scientist who grew up in an atheistic household won't probably believe without proof because as humans we always have relied on logical consistency, observation etc. to come to firm objective conclusions and his background will probably make him rely only on objective evidence. And if there ever was any objective evidence of God from any of the scriptures, it would shatter the world as we know it and most of the scientists who find the objective evidence of God from a religious scripture would immediately convert and start following that religion. And they also wouldn't actively choose to disbelief despite the objective evidence, reason being -
The horrific description of hell in most of the religions. Burning in hell for eternity just for disbelieving; no one with a sane mind would ever choose supposedly "worldly pleasure"(if that is a proposed motivation for disbelieving) of a finite life over avoiding torture for eternity/infinity.
Hence disbelief is not a choice which most religions state it to be so they are false and my logical conclusion is that God as we know him in most scriptures doesn't exist. What do you think of my argument.
Edit:- I see you guys are getting confused by my first statement. "Because first of all choosing to disbelieve requires knowing/believing that God exists." - by this statement I mean disbelieving is rejection of the concept of God despite having evidence or having been convinced with arguments or claims supporting God's existence, not merely the absence of belief.
