Hell is justified.
|
When the punishment fits the crime, that is justice. When the punishment exceeds the crime, that is cruelty. Eventually, no matter what you've done, you can be tortured enough to pay for it. A moment longer than that is unjust. Is Allah unjust?

That's giving torture-as-justice a free pass. Maybe torture is just torture. Someone else's injustice piled on top of another's.
If we wouldn't let it happen in a prison, and we rail against it's use by man...then we're compelled to object to it happening in gods funhouse, at gods direction or by his direct action. I'm fairly certain that Atlas has a position on torture.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

BULLSHIT! If you want to claim someone like Hitler "would" deserve eternal punishment for his crimes, nobody would disagree. The problem is that such a fictional place like "hell" DOES NOT EXIST. Just like you are not going to get 72 virgins in a fictional heaven for being "good". The response to harm is natural. That is evolutionary, and part of fight or flight, but it isn't magical. But Hitler is an extreme example. I got fucked over by my former boss because he was greedy and didn't have the guts to fire me to my face, but he is hardly Hitler. I hate the asshole, but that would not warrant me wanting his eternal torture. "Hell" is a mythological concept concocted in an age of kings, and blind loyalty was the order of the day. It isn't that hell exists, but in that it reflects our human species response to harm. Nobody wants bad things happen to them. But revenge is what "hell" is, and it is not a corrective concept in order to get someone to understand what they did wrong. It is simply superstitious triblalism.
I'm hard pressed to name one crime that justifies ETERNAL TORTURE. Maybe I need to be a bigger bastard? Say POPE sized?
