If you talk about rape in front of a rape victim, and say "oh sorry I understand that the word 'rape' is a trigger word for you, but it's real and just part of life so you must accept it," --is that not unconsiderate and offensive?

You answered that question yourself. It is real and a part of life. It's not offensive.

Sorry cupcake, there's no proof of an afterlife, or a god of any manner (actually rather the opposite) and those are facts.You obviously choose to live in a dilution so I can't much help you.

Quote:Just like those who are offended with the Trump presidency saying "Trump's not my President!"
Sorry cupcakes, he is.

Well you know what they say about small hands, and small brains. Or was it small hands small dicks? I forget. Go giggity over his orangeness elsewhere, this is a grown up thread kkkkkkkkk.
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.
