Like the Limbo dance, as I said in another thread. The thing is, I didn't have up close and personal contact with people that ignorant. Yes, I've met my shares of mental dwarves, but there was always a limit.
On the Internet, that's kind of a different story. It seems to be open season there.
This made me immediately think of a certain hoary hobbit we have had runnin around amuck for years.
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!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
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.
