Can a theist here explain the reasoning behind endless torture for a finite victemless crime?
Who can give a rational reason for it?
Oh and why do people end up in hell for simply having certain thoughts or lack ther of? Who is affected by anothers beliefs (or lack ther of)?
Oh and don't bother saying 'no one can understand god's reasons' bullshit.
I really want an answer to this one. Since I think it's impossible to give a rational explanation for it. Rules that make no sense are rules made without reason.
Because the concept of infinite torture for something that is victimless but offends the bigoted sensibilities of the most narrow minded of theists gives those same theists a deeply enjoyable make belief power trip. To preserve the make belief and thereby the efficacy of this concept in giving them this much desired high, they will go through great lengths to assert to themselves and any whom they can afflict that this concept is actually true.
By the way, "no one can understand god's reasons" is another way of saying "I am full of shit and I will use any means necessary to avoid being called to task for spreading my shit wherever it will stick.
