Where's the justice in that?The bible does not say. I think it to be on a sliding scale... I don't think any of us will be able to last indefinatly before our minds are consumed by the torment of Hell fire, although I do believe the Hitlers of this world will last longer in Hell than the guy who believes he is a good enough person to not need the attonement of Christ.

The Church leaders who came up with this 'doctrine' had to over look a whole heck of a lot of scripture to force this attribute onto God.
Well I was just playing along with the premise of course. "Benevolent", "faster than a speeding bullet" or even "bigger than a bread box" .. how should I know what something so ill defined as "God" would actually do in such a hypothetical and highly absurd sounding situation? More to the point, why should I care?
