I already answered you questions about finite vs infinite punishment scenario. Read again.
dammnit, I just deleted my whole damn response in the EDIT. SHIT, maybe a mod can get it back.
In post #67 I gave my initial opinion on god's judgement.
In post #79 I told you that I use a standard definition for "just"
You on the other hand, want your god to have some kind of special definition for "just". I stated before, as I am AGAIN, that I define terms the same way everybody else does. Am I holding your god to the world's definition of "just"? You're goddamn right I am! You don't have the privilege of redefining words to suit your agenda. Your brothers in Christ say “our god is just” … I can only use the definition of justice that exists to interpret what that means. And that definition is found in any dictionary/thesaurus you can put your hands on.
What’s really stupid is that this whole dictionary vs. thesaurus thing would be a pointless stupid debate to anyone else. You HAD to make issue with it because you NEED to be able to redefine justice so that you can give your hateful god a leg to stand on.
This is what I meant when I wrote, "just like your god, you play by your own special rules."
