Makes sense.

I tried to stop the masochist jokes beforehand, but I should have known you guys would find a way to turn it on me anyway.

Hey, if you're going to generalise, throw in a little qualifier such as "some of you guys". Because my only comment on any of this was directed at the irony, not the personality.
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.'

Okay. You have a point. I'll change it to "some of you guys".

Lek, I get the feeling you have a persecution complex that stretches out farther than this forum. Amiright? Tongue
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.

Feeling persecuted is the default mindset I think.

IT's all those burnings, crucifixion and being thrown to the lions. Makes them jittery, like a small bird or a frightened squirrel.

Oh you mean they feel persecuted by these guys?

Actually, I think it's okay for people to say stuff like that and I also hope you and everyone there comes out of this well. I got set off because people will say "don't say you'll pray for me" as if it's an insult to do so, but people always say things like "you're in my thoughts", which they believe is as worthless as prayer, but that's acceptable.

He might save one person's home. My question to him is why he doesn't put out your mouth?

Because he doesn't fucking exist.

He could always pray for Min's mouth to be "put out". At least it'll give him something to do.
