Trying to save people
#32
RE: Trying to save people
I try to be hands off, when it comes to those whom I know with religion. The more I try to be accepting of their beliefs, the more I realize that their lives are in struggle and torment, because of their beliefs. I haven't yet figured out how to help people like this, besides being sure of myself and offering a beacon of reason and light to their darkness, should they choose to take it.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
