Job

[h311inac311]

What amount of pain is worth eternal paradise? What perishing thing can I lose or gain that would deter me from pursuing that which can never perish? 

If you truly believe what you claim, then all almost infinite suffering is no big deal.  The more suffering, the better the paradise in the next life.  No pain, no gain, eh?

I repudiate this belief.  Not only that, I will actively fight against this idea whenever I hear it.  It is a recipe for justifying evil, doing evil, or letting evil be done.

So if there were eternal rewards for doing good and eternal punishments for doing bad you would do more evil? How can you be certain that if you use heaven as an excuse to do evil that God will let you enter?




And if God is real what kind of obligation would he have towards people who don't even acknowledge his existence?
