It's absurd and I'm rational enough not to worry about absurd threats.
Oh. So the more rational course of action was, according to you, to neglect the human species because they are of tiny size compared to galaxies?................... What does that do to God's omnibenevolence..?
People keep objecting to eternal torture because they think it's inhuman to torture someone forever, all these objections disappear when some tragedy involve them personally, the mother of a murdered child won't have many objections to the murderer being tortured for eternity.
For me to believe that God is omnibenevolent and omnipotent, I would have to believe God is real and also observe that the universe in which I live is more consistent with an omnipotent omnibenevolent being existing than with an omnipotent indifferent or malevolent being existing. My observations suggest if God-->indifferent.
The mother of a murdered child watching the murderer being tortured will eventually cry 'enough', even if it takes a trillion years. The God you proclaim never thinks its enough. Nearly everyone you're speaking to here has had some tragedy involve them personally, that's the human condition.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
