Gods supposed perfection

[Chad32]

Absolutely no one is claiming Yahweh is wrong to punish someone,

So God is justified in His punishment then?

His actions don't match up with someone who claims to be good.

Punishing wrongdoing isn't consistent with someone who is good?

I'm told that I am born sinful because of something that happened in the past, and I should beg forgiveness for being flawed despite the fact that I had no choice in being flawed.

Have you done something morally wrong in the past month? If so, are you responsible for the wrong that you did?

No, he is not justified in torturing people for eternity. I said somewhere recently, in this thread or another, that if it was some sort of community service for a finite amount of time, I'd be happy to work it off for any crimes I've done. But apparently drifting in a lake of fire serves nothing but spiteful revenge.

I'd like to think you aren't stupid enough to not get this. There are more reasonable and constructive ways to meet out justice than eternal hellfire.

I have not killed anyone, despite being tempted to. I have not raped anyone despite being tempted to. I have not stolen things, despite being tempted to. Yet I would apparently be judged by your god for thoughts as if they were actions. These are the kinds of things I have no control over, yet apparently would be judged for.
