Omg that's.. wow. See this is why I have no problem holding a dying seniors hand and comforting them about the heaven they so believe in. In cases where someones beliefs do them or me no harm, it doesn't matter really what someone else believes besides how they feel, and that they are comforted. Because I know what it's like getting to that moment and theres not much comfort in death. Even just to live one more second, is all you want! Its excruciating but this child sounds like.. like he died the best way that he knew how. I mean, wow. And for that man to do that four times for dying wishes? Props to him, I could not do that
I think I may go cry a little.
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.
