It's the emotionally driven drivel of bleeding hearts who cannot understand a God who is Holy and will not tolerate sin. Nor can you stomach that only our human minds find it tyrannical that God would punish eternally. God is not us, doesn't think like us and IS NOT bound to our sense of "fair" or "just". GOD is the ultimate arbitor of what is just and fair and if sin brings on eternal hell...then whether we like it or not that must be fair, just and good.
Universalism is simple (and stupid IMO). It is the natural reaction of spoiled kids who don't like accountability. Well..I don't like the idea of having to pay the ultimate price for not doing as God asks, so I will just ignore and change it.
Annihilationism is at least palatable. There is still punishment for wrong doing. Not like the free pass that is universalism.

Consider two men, X and Y. They both are vile child-molesting sinners. X lives to the age of 75 and dies a natural death, never facing justice here on earth. Y lives to the age of 75 and gets saved, then dies a year later.
Not a whole lot of difference. But one burns forever in hell and the other spends eternity in heaven.
Right?
