If your whole point is to argue that scripture is inconsistent, you're wasting everybody's time. Nobody here is arguing that.
You're using one interpretation of scripture (bad guys go to hell) and mixing it with another interpretation of scripture (God is omniscient) to arrive at the conclusion that God is "unfair".
Using scripture in that way is just silly. You can come up with any conclusion you want if you pick and choose your references.
I was hoping this thread would be more than just schoolboys doing their Logic 101 exercises.

What's wrong with using one interpretation of scripture? It can be used in a proposition to prove that interpretation either true or false.
But that isn't what you're doing. "If 'A' = true THEN 'B' = false" is meaningless because you haven't demonstrated that 'A' = true or that 'A' and 'B' are mutually exclusive.
If it's not logic you use to understand things, i'm highly interested in what else.
Logic has little value if it isn't applied to reality.

Though, immorality is hard to prove scientifically, I think we can just assume that to be a fact of common knowledge.
Nope.
