Atheists, tell me, a Roman Catholic: why should I become an atheist?

Well, that's understandable, I mean, questioning your faith is discouraged is it not? Don't make waves, just do your good Christian duty and not question anything and make everything that happens be some big god conspiracy of blessing and silver-lined suffering. When one "sheep" strays, best let it go on its way otherwise you'd lose the entire flock, eh?

12. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and search for the one that went astray? 13. And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14. Likewise, it is not the will of your Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish (Matthew 18:12 - 14, HBFV)

How biblical of them to leave us lost sheep alone in the wilderness. Rolleyes

Sorry, I'm not going to prescribe myself any longer to thinking that my own earthly suffering is the will of another being that not only destined me to such a fate but could also easily fix it yet chooses not to. Heaven or not, hell or not. That's just not healthy thinking or the actions of a loving being.
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.
