My reasoning in rejecting eternal torture/hell...

So, since oppression must work with an unmovable, absolute power, like God... and you believe that there is no God... Do you believe in oppression?

Just trolling.

Seriously though, Rome had a deal while republic that in times of emergency, there would be someone who would act as emperor, fix the issue at hand, then step down. This worked wonders for the longest time. Then the butthole Julius walks up and refuses to sit down. Basically, if the unmovable absolute power is a good guy, then things work AMAZING. There is no bureaucracy to cut through, good things get done quick, bad things are rejected immediately. If the absolute power is a bad guy, then things work TERRIBLY. There is still no bureaucracy, but the good things are put off till later and the bad things are indulged in immediately. The best type of government is an unconstitutional monarchy because of how fast things can move. However, the worst type of government is a dictatorship. What's the difference? The guy in charge. Some times good, some times not. Just think how much Obama could do if there were no Supreme Court or Legislative branch. All the "1st 100 days of office" could potentially be done on the first day.

Note: I don't vote, but I couldn't support Obama anyway because of abortion.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
