Hi from the UK!

Weird shit happens all the time. Not all of it is in our heads. That doesn't automatically mean there are any supernatural explanations.

Aww, don't cry! I'd offer to eat you myself, only everyone seems to assume - quite accurately, as it happens - that everything I say is single entendre at best.

Welcome to the new kid! I hope you brought enough to share with the whole class (you did bring the required sacrificial offering, I presume),
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.'

Welcome Bob. Have you ever seen that movie What about Bob?
Also, can you rap?
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.
