Well you couldn't pay me to live on the eastern continent. That's where all the crazy spiders are (or so I'm told and like to believe)!
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.

Hi there. I'm a bit of an aspiring poet, too. Though, I almost only write sonnets.

Welcome aboard.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

As requested:

* my favourite RPG is Rolemaster, all iterations thereof. I've been playing it since the mid-80s, if that helps. Smile

* I live just south of the Gold Coast, in NE NSW. And just a tad north of Byron Bay, as well.

* I know a few people in WA, and one of my closest friends lives there. It so happens he is a theist. Smile

Thank you for helping me feel welcome; I can't stay long tonight, as I need to sit and work on a concordance of the poetry of H. P. Lovecraft (yes, another atheist Smile ...).

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
