Because that is how the world of reason and intellect works. If you cannot justify your beliefs, then do not be surprised when people dismiss them. This is no longer the middle ages when only the literate few controlled what the masses believed in relation to theistic nonsense.

You do not wish for justification, you hope it never comes so you can preserve your way of life.

Still beating around the invisible bush, I see. Must make you feel so much safer, and better about you and your creed, to subscribe a blanket assertion about a group of people so diverse you have no idea what to think about them and why you simply can't get them to believe in something without nothing. Truth of the matter is, even if your god existed and even if hell did too and even if you were right and I was wrong, you'd still be rationalizing an entire majority of your brothers and sisters going to an infinite (or even finite) HELL. You're what's wrong with the world.
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.

We don't have to prove scripture is not true. Scripture is a claim - you must prove it true, or at least provide evidence.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
