RE: How did you lose your faith.

I almost died, a few times. Never saw god, Never heard from him, realized I was dying alone. Then I decided to read the Bible again to see why he wouldn't show up for his highly devoted daughter, much less put humans through such bullshit, and it all went downhill from there (or upwards on the bullshit factor) when I re-examined all the reasons why I believed what I did in the first place.
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.
