My reasoning in rejecting eternal torture/hell...
#55
RE: My reasoning in rejecting eternal torture/hell...
Hell as a concept is not containment or corrective, it is clearly an act of revenge. Catholics try to do a run around this with "purgatory", but if the "hell" is still there to put some people in then it is still a threat of revenge.

A book that describes the head master as being "jealous" certainly fits the description of someone capable of revenge. In the civil west in reality we are NOT allowed to rule by mob. We are not allowed to stalk and follow our boyfriends or girlfriends or spouses if they try to leave, and most certainly not allowed to beat them forever or murder them.

Civility in the west is in spite of that book, not because of it.
