Also, you don't go to hell if you're a bad person. You can go on a genocidal killing spree with a chainsaw, and if you feel sorry for your crimes in the end and want forgiveness, that'll do. Along with the trust in Jesus and such.

That was about one tiny piece of it. And really, that's not a loving God.
A loving God doesn't send good people to hell because they didn't believe something. That somehow,
good people go to hell for being mistaken once is wrong.
And that
bad people who make the right choice once go to heaven? Horrendous -- there's no all loving, that's favoritism for those that follow you, nothing more.
It doesn't fly with me. That may work for you, not me, not many other agnostics out there.
