I wonder naimless, why you think your situation is anything like his? Why you think your family is comprable to his? We all go through transitioning phases with our families and surprisingly (not) the transitions' difficulty is directly proportional to the reverence observed to religion by the family. Some religions are worse than others. Some families are worse than others. Cults are DEfinitely the hardest. Were you in a cult nameless? Did you react perfectly towards your family when you were being verbally attacked?
I still can't believe you guys keep blaming the victim. No, its NOT okay to rape a girl wearing a short skirt because she's wearing a short skirt, and no its not okay to defend the abuser. Anyone inducted into a cult and being emotionally blackmailed by their family deserves nothing but sympathy.

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.
