I can point to a specific time and date for when I realized that my god was not there, near death. It took years though for me to accept what I believe--along with the inevitable title, and mainly I was just pissed off at god for awhile, trying to figure out why he had forsaken me even though I was an upstanding daughter. My fiancee was an athiest when I met him and we agreed that I'd be the 'spiritual' one, and he'd be the 'logical' one, but he's helped me a lot to realize I need not be mad at god and for that I'm incredibly thankful!
Sometimes there's no one to be mad at for things in this life, you just have to be mad for awhile then let it go..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
