-God is perfect. Being opened up to perfection is the ultiment fulfillment that leaves nothing else desired.
-Why would it be to the detriment of others? God is infinite and has enough fulfillment to go around to everyone There is nothing more perfect than perfection, hence nothing you'd want to experience more. Everything one seeks in life is in virtue of biological needs (yet biological needs do not exist in heaven) or of an end of happiness/fulfillment, and so heaven is the ultimate satisfaction of that.
-Again, "God is perfect. Being opened up to perfection is the ultiment fulfillment that leaves nothing else desired".
Tagging someone more knowledgable about Christianity who may be able to help further.
As in if there is a God, would you 'banish' him and call him evil? It may sound oxymoronic, but if God did exist would you still decide not to follow him because of the suffering and injustices he has caused? We went over this in my Philosophy class- Stephen Fry agrees along these lines and I found it interesting (Which is acknowledging there could be a God, but not to 'believe' in him, to shun him)

"Believe" is sometimes taken to mean "believe in the positive virtues of", but only in a very informal context. To believe in God is literally just that, to believe in his existence, and no atheist believes in that.

True- just tryna explore a different viewpoint. I find it strange how so many atheists speak of how horrible God is but then say he doesn't exist- how is something that doesn't exist bad? :P I'm also an athiest/humanist

If he did exist, he would be responsible for the vast amounts of suffering we witness, and therefore isn't all that nice to put it lightly
