3) “Just because God exists, doesn’t mean that I should worship him. In fact, if Hell exists then God is really evil, and I should put all my effort into killing God and rescuing everyone from hell. Sure it sounds impossible, but I wouldn’t give up until I’d thought about the problem and tried all possible courses of action.”
But if you succeed in pulling everyone from hell, what would give their existences meaning and purpose? I mean, you just can’t thwart god’s sovereign will for his creatures without consequences. God created them for damnation as their telos from the very beginning, just as he created others to receive totally undeserved salvation.
I would rather have no purpose (originating in myself or in someone else) than have the outside-given purpose of suffering. If they cared about anything when they got out of hell, that would be their purpose though.
But I would expect them all to be insane from centuries of torture.

That was a bit of misplaced sarcasm, I assume.
I tried to imagine what a Calvinist would say.
