Despite what the bible and many people might say, I cannot imagine God (this whole post assumes His existence) to be as just as he is portrayed in Christianity. This is because, logically speaking, a "just" God would not throw someone in hell for eternity as a punishment for a lifetime of bad deeds. Seventy years is a long time, one hundred even longer, but both are nothing compared to eternity. As such, it does not make sense to punish someone with never ending suffering for what they did on earth for such a brief (comparatively speaking) amount of time. If God does administer never ending punishment to people who commit crimes for such a short amount of time, than I do not see how, logically speaking, God can be called just. This is because the punishment does not match the crime. Eventually, the punishment for even the most heinous crimes must end. On earth, we don't always have enough time to pay for our crimes; after death we would. As such, everyone who calls God just (as many religions do) but at the same time believes that "bad" people go to hell, and that hell is eternal, runs into a contradiction. Either God is not just, or hell is not forever.
