I don't have to have religion to tell me that cheating is no good any way you look at it.
Say you do cheat. The whole time you feel guilty, it's not as pleasurable as you had imagined, you're lucky if you come, and
it leaves you so empty you want to do it again to fulfill your need for recompense. That doesn't even begin to illustrate what
happens when you go home and have to look your partner eye to eye. I have no clue how someone could do it, but they can and do.
My thoughts on the matter are that a part of you dies, when you do that. Or at very least, is suppressed. You must keep feeding the
suppression with comforting actions (like cheating again to validate yourself), or other things like alcohol and drugs. Or just enthrall
yourself in work..Actions that satisfy the short term but leave you empty at the end of the day. None of which is fulfilling in the least. The saddest part is that you can get addicted to the adrenaline rush. The act of cheating itself. It's a selfish self centered, ass hole fulfillment. Just like if I made a fur coat out of Dalmations. Someone's paying for my pleasure.
So no, don't believe in cheating.

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.
