I aDore golden retrievers. Just looking at one makes me tear up though. Had a very special one growing up/into my 20s. It was heartbreaking to lose him!
One day, when I have a yard and kids, I want to save a retriever like your adopters, Min. Kudos to you for being a Foster! It's not easy.
One time I agreed to foster a mom and kittens and got handed a carrier full of kittens and a mom who, turned out, was feral as hell! Couldn't get her back in the cage, she took up residence under my bed and growled whenever I jumped into it. Or whenever I rolled over and moved it. Or just for fun. She was a mean lil bugger!
Anyways she let me socialize the kittens, and they all got adopted. Took two vet peeps and 24hrs to catch that cat. She was one bad mama! X]

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.
