Is Hell or Prison the best cure for immorality?

Why are you so concerned with religious texts? Also have you really not read any of the Hindu scriptures because that sort of hell is mentioned in the Vedas.

Quote:Merely asserting that doesn't make it so: power that is earned comes at the consent of the governed, not at merely being more powerful. Your method is the way of a feudal warlord, not one who has legitimately earned power.

A feudal warlord conquers, please tell me in a hypothetical sense what a god would have to conquer. I understand you are not so bright in the matters of theology yet alone common sense but if someone creates something it is thus their property.
The issue though is that you view consciousness and supposed autonomy as a negation towards ownership. We are the ones who created such concepts to save our society from wide spread infanticide since a child is a biological product of another body ruled by a mind. God has no higher authority and has no morals since morality is merely a biological product and intellectually retweeked tool to prevent us from cutting throats. None of these things are applicable when you are speaking about a nonbiological being that is not even capable of being quantified or understood.

Quote:Power that is earned comes with systems in place to ensure it isn't abused, not formulated so that there is no sense in which abuses of that power could lead to it being taken away.

So God is George Bush?

So, that might be part of the problem with divine justice and morality.

Or it could just be that you are a little on the mentally challenged side and have not realized that the Bible is not exactly real.
