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.

Hiya and welcome to AF! ^_^

I have to say, you do take exquisite photos! Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I hate stereotypes and labels. It took me 20 years or so to come to gripes with calling myself an atheist, that's how much I hate labels

Good to see you, Smidge.

There was a bruhaha at TTA over whether pedophiles had the right to be heard, free speech and all that. These guys were using the forum to enhance their own agenda and website. Some of us called bullshit on it, especially since it opened old wounds. There were some who argued that they had every right to be heard even though many forum members are under 18. Others argued that along with pornography and threats of violence this should be prohibited on the forum. Promoting pedophelia under the guise of educating was obvious.

Of course it is more nuanced that this synopsis but it's the gist of it.

Smidgen does great 'shroom and wilderness photography. I mostly shoot underwater. I'd post some images if I could figure out how.
