Quote:Because we believe that infinite punishment for finite "crimes" is wrong?
Who says they are finite? If you killed Hitler when He was a boy wouldn't your desision to kill the boy who would be Adolph Hitler change the world forever?

Who says you will be tortured for eternity? The bible simply say Hell is forever. It does not say we will be in that place. Most accounts have us consumed by the fires of Hell.
Quote: Or that slavery is wrong and immoral, but God was apparently all for it according to the bible?
That's because the act of slavery in of itself is not wrong. All acts in of themselves hold no intrinsic value to God. What makes something wrong is God saying do not do, and we do.
