We had a chess thread matchup once upon a time. I decimated everyone till they lost interest, it was a thing. Angel
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.

I suck at chess.
A kid at secondary kept beating me with the same fricking stupid move.

Online just doesn't compare with an elegant board and fine hand carved pieces. Something about the sound a piece makes when you set the felt bottom down on a board or take another player's piece. Even the smell of an old set and the way the carvings are worn from use. Old fashioned I guess.

That's fine. I feel the same way about books, the smell and the feel, the crisp pages.Wink
