I did not consider the omniscience of God so much as I considered the issue of omnibenevolence. If this God is all good, all loving, then it would be impossible for him to damn anyone to hell for all eternity. I take my father, for example, who loves me more than anyone on this Earth loves me. There is absolutely nothing that I could ever do that would make him hate me. Even if I did something that was so horrible, that it did in fact make him hate me, there is still no way that he could ever damn me to an eternity of pure, unimaginable misery and torture. So if this God loves me more than my own father could ever even comprehend of loving me, how could he damn me to hell for eternity? I just don't think he could. Therefore, if a benevolent God does exist, there is no such thing as hell.

FREE WILL, BRO, FREE WILL.

AS SIMPLE HUMANS WE CAN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE MIND OF GOD

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
