Quote:Well, whatever it was, he got better, from all the sins of the world; however, each person having only one person's worth of sin gets to stay in hell forever. This all seems rather unbalanced and nonsensical.Unbalanced, yes, but that's what I would expect, comparing God to man. It's nonsensical to expect the two to be identical.
