It is quite often said, "Only boring people get bored".
Well I've come to conclude that "If you've never been bored yourself, then you are the one who is boring."
I think the question is, do we have a limited potential? Because unlimited potential is a very powerful concept. Who knows who or what you'll be after an eternity? When you hit a boredom millenia, its merely a time for retrospection, introspection, and recreation of oneself! Living eternally is perhaps a blessing and a curse, but definitely better than nothing.

YOU, good sir, have been watching the movie "Interview with a vampire" one too many times. But having lived a lifetime of suffering like we have, I can still honestly say that I'd live it again, just for the sunrise, or the look in someone's eye when they know I'm about to make them laugh. The big things too.. but mostly the little things are what keep me going.
To the OP, I'd be one of those "explain yourself" kinda people. I doubt I'd hear anything worthwhile in terms of vindication for their actions or intent--so I'd test this beings hold on non rèality, look for weak spots, and choose whichever door that leads to the best case scenario in which I could kill/lock up said god. If impossible, escape to anywhere I can, as far away as possible.
I'm currently prepared to tell the Abrahamic god to go fuck himself with a pineapple, should I die and find him there unrepentant (him).
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.
