What is the purpose of a post like this?
If you refer to the image, well, that is termed "humorous art", intended to cause the relative aspect of people to respond with an almost barking sound termed a "laugh."
If you are referring to the content of the "humorous art", I can only assume you would recognize the individual at the keyboard as a caricature of God, but since the question is presented I will provide further explanation. It appears that the artist has taken a lesson from Jack Chick and has provided a possibly erroneous, yet humorous, piece of artwork showing God as smiting on a whim.
Now, seriously, if we have a sense of humor, it follows that God must, given that we are created in the image of said God. I would believe that God would see this image and laugh.

Well, the answer is simple: No one is good enough to stand before God. God is holy (without sin). Apart from Jesus Christ we are all sinners and doomed to Hell. Yes, even history’s most renowned people are either in Hell or on their way there if they have not bowed their knee to Christ Jesus.

Heaven will be a desolate place... God may have to pull some soul's from hell, so he dosen't get lonely.

I don't think anyone should be in Hell, not even you.
I retract that statement. Everyone deserves to be in Hell because everyone has sinned (you too JesusIsAlive? No, not you. Yes, unfortunately, I too have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God). God the righteous judge should have thrown all of us into Hell for life (that is how bad sin truly is). But...God so loved the world (people, humanity) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him (this word believe means more than mere mental assent. It means to reach out to Jesus and ask Him in your own way to save you from your sins. The word believe conveys the idea of trusting and depending on Jesus and no one for salvation from sin. He will hear you I guarantee)
John 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”
Originally posted by JesusIsAliveHow could God send a good person to Hell? How could a loving God condemn and consign a person who has a reputation for being good in so many people’s eyes to a place of torment? Why would God do such a thing?

Yes, even history’s most renowned people are either in Hell or on their way there if they have not bowed their knee to Christ Jesus. Bigotry? Intolerance? Dogmatism?
The truth based on the Bible? How can I speak so absolutely about this subject? There are no absolutes, everything is relative, right? Question: what are absolutes based on objectivity or subjectivity? They are supposed to be based on objectivity. If something is a matter of opinion then it is considered to be subjective. If I ask you what your favorite ice cream is, your answer would not fall under the classification of something that is absolute because it is your personal, favorite. But if I asked you what 3 + 4 is and you feel or think that the answer is, “1,” because that is your belief, now we have a problem. You have just taken something that is absolute and made it relative. You have taken an objective and made it subjective. There is only one right answer to 3 + 4 = 7, and it is not 1. This is an absolute. I don’t see anyone arguing whether 3 + 4 is 7 yet this is an intolerant absolute. The answer doesn’t care whether you agree that 7 is the correct answer. If you mark 1 on your paper you are going to get this question wrong. Why? Because this is an absolute; there is only one right answer to this question. Irrespective of what you feel, think, believe, are accustomed to, your background, culture, upbringing, environment, skin color, social status, income-level, and tax bracket: 3 + 4 = 7.
But then how can so many people be wrong? What about the sincerity of those who are seeking a path to God? I just don’t believe that millions of people could be wrong especially if they are sincere, you say. Question: if a billion people sincerely believed that elephants were the size of ants, and turtles were faster than cheetahs, and sharks can’t smell blood, and that Hitler never existed, and that red is really yellow, and pink was really green, and 3 + 4 was really 9, does that make them right? But what about their sincerity, doesn’t that somehow smooth over the fact that they are wrong? Doesn’t their sincerity add some validity to what they think, feel, and believe? Absolutely not; their sincerity is irrelevant and immaterial, their still wrong. I said all that to say this: as peaceful as Gandhi was, as commendable as mother Theresa was, as good as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, as laudable as some people say the Pope is, as admirable as your husband, wife, father, mother, siblings, relatives, in-laws, teachers, neighbors, boyfriend, girlfriend, or even adult children may be: if any of these people, yourself included dies in your sins (without asking Christ Jesus for forgiveness) then they/you are lost.Folks, when it comes to the path to God there is only one right Way.
Ok, please tell me HOW and in what way do you represent ANYTHING Jesus thought?
(And I had to google 'jesus quotes' to get this)
You are so unlike Jesus. Jesus was so cool, and I am one of the great admierers of him, especially this quote about JUDGING everyone else -

You are doing exactly the opposite!
Do you think Jesus is proud? Do you? I don't think he is.
