I've seen a study recently that when given the choice between a shock or having 15 minutes to your own thoughts: more people chose the shock.
Making a kid think and discuss how they fucked up is, apparently, a worse punishment in the eyes of the child than a swat which is immediate resolution. I couldn't wait to get the spanking over with especially if we had to travel home or if I had to wait for dad to come home, to do so. I don't remember the swats themselves although I can count on one hand how many I got. I remember the anguish I was in until it was over with, mainly because it was more important for my parents to not be mad at me anymore. I remember a lot of obsessing about whether or not they were mad at me. Don't even remember why I got swatted.

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.
