The flaws of Hell

[max-greece]

Well you say that but when I posted an alternate view we got very little response (http://atheistforums.org/thread-19237.html )

That's nothing new....it's called Wicca ?

That's a harsh judgement. Mine specifically says - no worship - not listening to you - stop it. I don't think that's Wiccan at all.

What are the (if any) flaws in the concept of hell?

By far the biggest flaw is that the best an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent being could come up with is a punitive, coercive justice system.

Even humanity, with our penchant for petty squabbles, warmongering and general disregard for each others rights have worked out that rehabilitative justice is far superior.

Because he's absolutely mental.
Can't we just ban this mentalist?

The way he talks to us as if we are five year old's and as if he is some sort of authority figure, and the way he really, really, really believes that his diatribe is FACT, is disturbing to say the least.

When someone acts as if they're five then why shouldn't they be called out as five. Most nonbelievers here only care to make fun of what they can not comprehend, such as you do, I've yet to see you engage in a honest discussion with a believer, all you know to do is insult. This means you need to grow up and as an adult who can only insult, you must be the mental one. Your actions here helps the Christians here and the ones who visit know what atheist are really like, you and Min are great ambassadors to the world on how atheist act. Keep up the good work, you're helping to protect the Christian cause, see God can use anyone no matter how irritating they may be.

I know all the nonbelievers are like what I described, so please do not be offended if you're one of those who is responsible in your discussions.

God does not tempt, Satan did, the tree actually represents love.

So, let's deconstruct that, for a moment. The tree represents love, but don't go near it, humans. Don't eat from it, or you'll die. Oh no, wait, just spiritual death, you'll actually just be cast out of paradise, made mortal and forced to toil, as will every one of your descendants forever, and also death is now a thing and all the carnivorous animals have suddenly become carnivorous (according to some interpretations.) Is that seriously what you think love is?

Do you actually believe any of the things you say?

Besides not having any understanding of God and His word, do you actually have any talents. The tree represents love through obedience, of coarse I don't expect you to understand such a complicated issue.

You are misrepresenting scripture, God does not forgive all sin, any sin according to our creator is not minor, and hell is not a place of torture. I wish you and the other nonbelievers here would grow up, give up your childish behavior and act like responsible adults. You get bent out of shape when believers misrepresent evolution as you understand it. Rejecting the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin, one can believe in God and still reject the calling of the Holy Spirit.

Congratulations GC, you have managed to totally contradict yourself in the same paragraph.

Well done lad

BTW, if your god can't or won't differentiate between murdering thousands and having a wank then he is remarkably stupid or a total cunt.

So you think God has forgiven your sin, seriously. So you know all about the Holy Spirit do you, have you even met Him.

Pardon?

How do I get to meet someone who has shown no evidence of even existing?(you hearing the little voice in your head doesn't count)

And I noticed your lame attempt to skirt around my original points of you contradicting yourself. Or your gods inabilty to differentiate between levels of "sin".

"The tree represents love through obedience, of coarse I don't expect you to understand such a complicated issue."

Or, in other words, slavery. Explains a lot of Christian history.

Can anyone think of 2 more unrelated words than Love and obedience, just out of interest?

Lol, LOVE through OBEDIENCE, isn't that a dream came through for every abusive parent who wants their kids to take care of them when they grow older, week and in need of diapers ?

I know you cannot not possibly understand this, but not every parent deserve their kids taking care of them ...

Lol, god, the ultimate cause of Stockholm syndrome
