He doesnt seem all that likable, but watching pastors rail against one of their own for teaching the "wrong" version of an arbitrary religious belief always make me laugh a little.
I think why they rail against him is that he does not preach a gospel of repentance. He preaches that God loves you and has a great plan. That is half of the gospel, and honestly, the easier side to grasp. Telling people they have sinned and need to ask for forgiveness is really a big part of the gospel and you will not hear that from his lips.

From a biblical perspective, separation from god due to our sin is the root cause of all the evil in the world. In essence what you're saying is that people would rather stay in a fallen world full of death and pain and sorrow rather than devote to god and avoid all of that once you reach the other side.
I don't understand the arguement of "we are seperated now and things aren't that bad so I'll just stay seperated from him" because it's followed by complaints about how bad this world is.
If people wanna stay in this world full of rape, murder, genocide, sorrow, loss, tears, etc for eternity, I guess they're entitled to feel that way. I just personally would rather go somewhere where all that doesn't exist. But not everyone believes in jesus like I do so that's that.
And really from the Christian perspective god doesn't "send" people to hell. We send ourselves by our sin. We in essence tie gods hands.
