If I agree to an eternal punishment for Hitler because of the horrors he let loose on the world, I would morally have to agree to the same for lesser transgressions. Six million Jews. Suppose another maniac arises who butchers five million Hindus or four million Sikhs or three million Shinto. Do I support eternal punishment for them? What’s the endpoint? There isn’t one. Eventually, I’ll be supporting eternal damnation for the clerk who shortchanged me at the grocers.

This is a moot point.
Eternal punishment would be APPROPRIATE for any act of mass genocide. But our species is finite. And there is not such thing as eternal punishment.
Yea, it sucks when the clerk cant count change though.
I agree that it’s moot, I just explaining why I feel the way I do.
