JohnV, there's such a thing called Existential Rights. Look it up.
Pocaracas makes a good point. God was apparently able to communicate his wills and wishes to the masses via the Biblical writings (albeit in a time when his presence could not be confirmed in the tangible world), and instead of setting the golden standard for how people should treat other people---he provides Supporting Decrees on How to Enslave and Rape one another?
How can you believe your own assertions based on the 'nature' of the god you supposedly know?

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.
