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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.

No, I'm saying that us atheists are so used to christians spouting out the most obviously retarded shit about their religious views that my parody OP is not THAT unusual. So not unusual that most atheists would just roll their eyes and think, "Fuck, here we go again."

Yeah, it really does sound that ridiculous to us.

Dumb covers it

I've been online debating Christians for close to a decade on various forums. And during that time I would estimate that I've spent a cummulative 10 full minutes altogether sitting here in stunned silence realizing at last that what some Christian just said, which I originally thought was a joke, was actually seriously stated by one of them.

Something that a protestant christian said.

I'm a former Southern Baptist. So I'm not that far removed.

But there have been a few times when a christian posted something that I took as jest. Something I chuckled at and thought, "That's cool. They're at least attempting to bring a little light hearted levity to the discussion."

And then another atheist would say in the atheist only section something like, "I can't believe this shit."

I would pipe up, "Get a sense of humor, that was a joke."

And then a third member who was also a former christian would say, "Uhm no. My former congregation taught that."

And I would sit here in stunned silence for half a minute or so.

One guy at one atheist forum site even came up with a definition about religion is that to a certain percentage of people it's indistinguishable from parody.
