RaphaelDrake, I posted a speedbump aimed at everyone, a page or two before the post you take issue with. That speedbump was directly followed by yours and Homeless Nutters' continued undesirable behaviour. At the time that I posted the second speedbump, it was only you two. Then someone ninja'd a third one in there, and I realize you might not be at fault for having not seen the original (or subsequent second) speedbump, before you posted--but the point remains. You're not in trouble by any means, I just want to nip this uncivility in the butt, and am simply following through with moderation quorum. I apologize if you were offended in any way, I'm just doing my job.
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.
