First, let me note and record how funny it is to me that our oldest member has literally used our History section as his personal poster board. Kudos Min!
May your legacy forever be etched in the sands of time for aliens or future historians to review and deem to be the "Only Rational Historian of the 21st Century! X)
Secondly, I was just reviewing some old Hitler propaganda and I ran into this gem. It does beg a question that I think is discussion worthy so here it is.
Even though anyone with access to wikipedia knows Hitler unquestionably considered himself a Christian (see link of my notes on the subject):
Why did this make me laugh?

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.
