My cousin once beat the shit out of my dog with a slipper. Didn't do anything but hurt my dogs' dignity. But that night.. I heard horrified screams from my cousins room. I ran in to find that my dog had taken a crap on the carpet. Then mid crap she had apparently decided that that was not justice enough, and she jumped onto the bed to finish it off. I was never so proud of my dog, than I was at that moment.
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.
