I fear death less as an athiest. Oddly enough when I was a believer I constantly obsessed about my family's well being to the point I had very bad anxiety there for a bit. Especially if they weren't "saved" in Christ. Now I just try my best to enjoy them when I have them, and don't worry atall what happens to them when they're gone.
I was also a dumbass and denied medical treatment with chemotherapy because I was advised that I was "impeding god" from healing me. Then, when I stopped impeding and almost died: turns out me being sick is just god's will and is probably saving me from a worser fate. Now I'm back on medicine and doing quite nicely

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!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
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.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
