I wish you'd gotten more responses, this is a question I currently have tooTongue

Have no idea what it is. Is it the point where you know you're a being and have a body? If so, animals are conscious. But only some animals are able to empathize, or are aware of themselves in comparison to not only the world they live in but the other creatures they live with.

I'm all confused, sorry I can't help you. But, here's an article I thought was coolSmile

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/20/scienc...d=all&_r=0
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.
