A discussion around family table.

[Scented Nectar]

Your god punishes when there is no crime. And if there were one, what crime is bad enough to warrant eternal torture? Seriously, which sins deserve eternal torture as punishment? And if you do agree with your bible that it is deserved, what is accomplished by a punishment with no end? Surely not a life lesson learned so you can carry on in a better, or at least deterred, way afterwards since there is no afterwards to an eternity. Is your god that revengeful, sadistic and evil?

As you're contradicting me, can you provide evidence to support your claim here please.

I'm not sure what the contradiction is. That the crime does not deserve eternal punishment? I feel strongly that no finite human crime is deserving of eternal punishment. What revenge needs eternity? Is refusing to think lovey-worship thoughts about a controlling authority even a crime? Is refusing to take God's multiple personality of Jesus into your heart evil and worthy of punishment (eternal at that!)? This God fellow should really get himself into therapy or something, requiring that from people. Sure it feels good to get compliments, but is this God guy stupid? Everyone knows a compliment means nothing when it's forced. Maybe it's time for religions to at least make up better quality gods if they are not ready to toss the concept entirely.
