The followers of the Abrahamic faiths would all say that God is benevolent. However, when we look at the detail in the Old Testament, we find otherwise. If the Book of Joshua really tells of the commands of God, then he commanded the Israelites to commit genocide. Those commands were unjustified and certainly not benevolent.

What will happen if a demon sends you to hell?
Well, first of all, a "demon" is not going to send you there! God will send you there if you have not been baptized. God was the one who cast the devil into hell. But to directly answer the question: it's going to be really hot and you are going to suffer until you can't stand the heat any longer!AnswerNot everyone believes in Hell. There is no Hell in Judaism, for example. I am not Jewish; I am an agnostic who was raised Protestant (Methodist). But I don't believe that any benevolent God would ever send his children to Hell, no matter what sins they committed in their life.Of course, there is always the possibility that God, if He exists, is either not benevolent, or not omnipotent. If God is not benevolent, then he might send people to Hell. Or, if God is not omnipotent -- if, for example, God has a God to answer to -- then he may not have a choice in the matter.In the movie The Craft, Fairuza Balk's character describes the supreme Creator spirit, Manon, this way: "If God and the Devil were playing soccer, Manon would be the stadium that they played on."I always thought that was an interesting idea: that God may not be in control of everything. Perhaps He is not all powerful; perhaps there is a greater entity that He has to answer to.But I think that the idea that God sends bad people to Hell forever is incompatible with the idea of a benevolent God. In Buddhism, for example, Hell is not eternal. You suffer in Hell until you have paid for the sins you committed in life, and then you are allowed to go to Heaven.But in Christianity, Hell is a place of eternal suffering, for people who are totally forsaken by God. And I don't believe that any benevolent God would ever completely forsake someone and condemn them to Hell forever.And a benevolent God would certainly not condemn someone to Hell (permanently OR temporarily) just because they were never baptized. That would be incredibly cruel and unfair, and a benevolent God is not supposed to be either of those things.That leaves four possibilities: 1) God is both benevolent and omnipotent, and there is no Hell, 2) God is both benevolent and omnipotent, and there is a Hell, but people are only sent there temporarily, until they have paid for their sins, 3) there is an eternal Hell, and people get sent there because God is omnipotent but not benevolent, or 4) there is an eternal Hell, and people get sent there because God is benevolent but not omnipotent.Whatever the case, as an agnostic I believe it is pointless to speculate on what happens after we die. Nobody knows what happens after you die except the dead, and they're not talking. Anyone who thinks they KNOW what happens after you die is fooling themselves.If there is an afterlife, it would be unlike anything that living humans are capable of imagining. So it's pointless to try to speculate on what the afterlife would be like, since it is beyond our current understanding.
