On Hell and Forgiveness

[polymath257]

You propose a scenario that makes no sense to me. Sure, we could have some powerful entity that is good and loving. But that is quite different than being 'goodness' and 'love' themselves. And those are psychological entities, NOT some all powerful force.

Furthermore, I *already* reject greed, feel remorse for my mistakes, and desire to be good and loving. So it is a question of whether this 'good and loving' entity wants to accept *me* as opposed to the other way around.

But I also don't consider perpetual 'love and joy' to be the same as fulfillment. That is, in many ways, closer to a drug high than reality. I prefer to see the world as it is: full of badness as well as goodness, full of possibilities of achievement, but also failure, complex and not simple. Being blissful is quite distinct from fulfillment, and often is in exactly the opposite direction.

Can you just answer the hypothetical?

I am trying to make sense of the hypothetical and failing. The hypothetical itself makes no sense to me. it identifies emotions (love, goodness) as a deity. That makes no sense at all.
