If a person disagrees with the gospel, what is the point of actively condemning them to hell?

I suppose an answer would differ dependently of the interpretation of different philosophy schools. Supposing Plato being the source of your definition of wisdom, to be endued with knowledge would mean to have access to the intellectual world that is at the same level than the divine world. In this theory, (see neoplatonic Plotinus and his Hypostases) God is the first intellect making the physical laws and the material world.

What is an evil is, in general, the absence of the ideal form of matter (like sickness is an absence of the ideal function of an anatomical body). God being the ideal form of everything, knowledge is : to partially understand him. The human brain being evil (in the sense that it is not as perfect as the intellectuality of God), it cannot posses the whole understanding of the world.

This is where comes the meekness of wisdom, to realize our inability to obtain perfect knowledge. For more information, you can see the definition of agnosticism (the inability to truly know God).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
