Wait, so.. in a hypothetical (and not at all physical world backed up) scenario, you want me to prove to you that your god not only killed every man, woman, child save for 8 chosen ones, and you think the burden of proof lies upon me to prove that that breeding population of human beings didn't have a single child or baby in utero?
I'm not that tenacious.
Seeing as how I believe god doesn't exist, this seems like a silly question.

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.
