Why would a logical person think that God would punish the "wicked" for eternity? Why would a logical person think that God wrote a book that was obviously written by men?
What are you arguing aginst here? God or the authors of the pages of the bible?
Neither, I don't think god wrote the book, nor were the authors divinely inspired, or whatnot. My argument has never had anything to do with either of these things. I am trying to say that, in the bible, there is a place that is mentioned multiple times as a 'fiery furnace' or 'lake of fire' where sinners are sent, and that fits in as hell. I am saying this in response to theists (or anyone, really) who says that hell is not in the bible. It was not originally named hell, but it was the same thing. And no, I don't know why god would have created hell, but that was never supposed to be part of my argument either.
