Christianity; the World's Most Violently Persecuted Religion

Except that it's a bit of a reach to call all of humanity criminals, and totally beyond the pale to utilize eternal punishment.

I cannot think of a single situation in which it would be appropriate to punish anyone for eternity. It is simply not possible to commit a crime that would merit such a fate. IMO, any god that would stoop so low is infinitely evil, and suffering from a severe lack of imagination as well. Even for the most heinous crimes committed by mortals, I can think of at least three saner and more humane alternatives.
