I think the key phrase in that is "Dominion over death."
Simply something we cannot control, understand, accept totally, or deny.
I'm still not ready to die. I never will be. But at least now I wont be scared shitless that I wont go to heaven as I'm dying, or as I'm living. I choose to live my life as best I can to be a good person, and I don't need threat of hell to do it.

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.
