You believe that the universe, after it exploded from nothing.. yes nothing.. had the ability to decide where the planets would go, and which one could support life? The universe now has the ability to make decisions?
I can't believe I have to say this, but.. Theres more than ONE life supporting planet out there. We aren't rare. Just because we can't jump over and bring back a plant doesn't mean there's NO evidence for life elsewhere in the universe. In fact, it seems that life-supporting planets are commonplace. The universe need not be self aware for physics and chemistry to take place. As for exploding from nothing: I'll leave those questions for the particle physicists to duel out rather than assume I can comprehend the math. I'd much rather take peer reviewed data over 2000 yr old jesus testimony with no proof whatsoever, any day of the week.

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.
