The imagery used of the place of those who are damned contradicts your assertions. While the word "hell" doesn't exist, nor does any other English word. So I fail to see your point as anything other than partially informed shock value.

I also wondered this: if Jesus knew who he was and how important he was to all humanity; why didn't Jesus write? Was he too busy? He didn't care?

Does it matter?

Also, Why did it take 34+ years After Jesus death for anyone to get around to write if it was so dang important to humanity?

You've got a rather anachronistic view of the ancient world. It'd be great if you'd recognize that and try to correct it.
- Writing was not as it was today, not everyone could write. Writing materials were also expensive.
- The Jewish culture that Jesus came from, as did his disciples was a very oral culture. Writing wasn't always necessary.
- It's much easier to tell people your message instead of sitting down with a scribe and writing it out.
- Christianity was an illegal religion, getting a professional scribe to write things out and copy them for you was usually not an option.

Then why do the Gospels obviously plagiarize each other? .....

Is that a problem?
Quote:

I mean The Buddha wrote, Confucius wrote, Lao Tzu wrote, they made absolutely no claims as a deity....why didn't Jesus write?
|
Is it a requisite of claiming to be a deity to write?

Did Jesus come to save all the Billions of humans, humanoids and Neanderthals that lived over multi-millennia before his time?
|
Yes.

And those Billions who never heard the word Jesus? Are they to be punished for all eternity in a fiery furnace by a God who supposedly loves them?

No.
Please try to avoid the shotgun approach. It usually puts you in the same category as 7th graders and the weak minded.
