True, however if you like me has gotten to know the character of Yahweh/Jesus in the Bible. You come to the conclusion that Yahweh/Jesus (I am convinced they are one and the same) is enough of a sadistic prick to inflict eternal punishment (including babies and possibly foetuses) on people. However the sort of god a lot of Christians believe in would do inflict eternal punishment, temporary punishment or simply annihilation yes, eternal no. Because such an entity knows that one can only commit a finite number of sins in their lifetime.
I think a lot of Christians believe in eternal torture and are okay with it, because it won't be them suffering.
