I've struggled with that very question, Zazzy. I concluded I'd rather have one pissed off person at me than that person dead. Not for me, mind you--I do the same for strangers as I do for those I love dearly. I hold the value of their life to be equal to mine. I value my life. Their life is equally as valuable except it's theirs, and sometimes our self perceptions are way off base. I see it as being no different than an anorexic--you're just, wrong. I disagree with Walking Void, I don't believe that the value of our life is conditional based on how we ourselves value it. If that were the case we'd have self-righteous bastards running the worl-- oh wait.
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.
