My dad was in a motorcycle accident too! He buys the bike and on the way back from Indiana, gets thrown off the road at 70mph (bike's fine). He wakes up in the ER, with nothing but a broken collar bone and his shirt scissored down the front. So they kick him out of the ER and he goes to rent a car.
I'd like to note, that my dad has a contempt for Mexicans, but only because they don't speak english.
So the car rental place shuts down after handing him the rental keys, he gets to the car, and the keys won't start the ignition and it's storming.
A mexican mother of 8 helped my extremely foreboding and large slightly frightening looking father by going to the store, buying him a new shirt and some food, and taking him to a hotel for the night.
The end of his story as he tells it to me 2 wks after it happens: God takes good care of me.

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