I don't think all religions should be considered a mental disorder or addiction, for the record. I've only observed that in those who take the Bible and Koran literally--meaning they'd be willing to do immoral acts in the name of god by usurping basic human rights and society's authority on the matter. There's plenty of people of very sound mind that I know, who believe in Jesus and his sacrifice for them. That's fine, I just take issue with when they beat themselves up for not having that Jesus show himself to them and tell themselves they're not good enough to the point they become unhealthy mentally. When they give everything they have, without taking into account their own well being or the well being of others, that's when my protective instincts kick in. Or when they deny themselves basic things like food, water, and sex---and hurt themselves. Denying ones own sexuality breeds mental illness, as the record stands. If someone wants to fast for a day, go for it. Starve yourself. I don't care. Just don't hurt yourself. And don't hurt me, because I won't do it too.
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.
