I can't respect willful ignorance. And there's a LOT of it on these forums being paraded around from one theist to another. Atheists and theists alike start off on the same foot with me until they open their mouths, and I won't lie. Once I've personally confirmed that they choose not to learn--all respect is lost, no matter the subject. Being willing to learn, is as important as breathing, in my opinion. No matter the level of education, social status, or religious belief/non belief.
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.
