Firstly, I'm glad you're OK. Second, you are one despicable shit-eating-by-the-mouthfull human being, just for this sentence I quote. How stupid can you be? How immoral you show yourself to be that you claim others to waste time thinking you should have a hardship in your life. And then you claim your imaginary friend to be "good". How good is a god that answers negative prayers?

Oh Drich, you keep tumbling down the rabbit hole Facepalm

This made me laugh this morning Tongue

Glad you're ok. But yeah it did push a button that you'd think we would wish bad upon you.
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.

If Jesus/my faith required me to let go the wheel i believe i would have failed that test.

First, glad you're okay.

Secondly I don't pray, or hope, that people come to harm, let alone die.

Why not just pray for them to appear here?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

When humour is used to excuse behaviour that others find offensive and inappropriate, you have just encountered a "Just Joking" Justification.

Jerkoff you guys take stuff way too seriously.

Do we really need to have another thread of the difference between prayer and petition so soon after the last one?
