FTR, I don't think that anyone is in hell (or heaven), since I am of the opinion that such things are not possible in a Universe like ours. OTOH, were such post-mortem justice possible, Hitler and his upper echelon would certainly be deserving of it; alongside Ken Ham and similar mind-rapists, Anjezë Bojaxhiu, Helen Ukpabio, and of course Yahweh itself.
Does anyone really deserve hell? Eternal suffering sounds a bit extreme. I agree that it doesn't exist though.
That's why I tried to be careful with my choice of phrasing; perhaps I could have been clearer. I agree completely that eternal suffering is as evil as eternal reward, I've said as much previously. Had I indicated that Hitler et al deserve(d) anything less, certain among us prone to grabbing the wrond end of the stick and beating around the bush with it would likely have misconstrued my meaning.
Even eternity's too lenient for Yahweh The Bastard, though.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
