[Serious] What God's justification for eternal torment?

[John 6IX Breezy]

you don't like the way I  describe it

Correct; your description is semantically and pragmatically incompatible with mine; the legal system doesn't recognize our descriptions as portraying the same event; and as such your description doesn't represent my cult's beliefs.

It shouldn't be a problem to make your case using my description. Plenty of paramedics still get sued (unsuccessfully perhaps) even after a patient signs a refusal form, so you're in good company for thinking its wrong to respect consent. Surely there's plenty to criticize in the narrative that God sacrificed himself for everyone, opened wide the gates of heaven, and people are free to refuse salvation. You can even try to convince me that my interpretation of Scripture is wrong. But its incoherent to argue that our descriptions are the same.

If you refuse my wedding invitation, I'm not the one leaving you out.

[The Grand Nudger]

My description is factually identical to yours - my moral assessment is different from yours. Your legal musings are irrelevant - I have no legal objections. If god wrote the laws, or the laws amounted to whatever god did - those would be the laws, and I would still have the same objection. As I keep saying, assuming that this is how it all works is the source of my objection - not an answer to my objection.

I'll wait until you deign to afford others what you claim for yourself.

I do not see our descriptions as factually identical; nor have I made any moral assessments. We are at an impasse, so I will respectfully conclude the conversation.

I see no reason why it HAS to be false either, and it's a much more plausible explanation than the universe being created ex nihilo by an invisible man in the sky.

How are you measuring the plausibility between the two explanations, if you don't mind me asking?

Show me some credible evidence for the existence of your God and I'll let you know. Describe the mechanism by which he created the universe ex nihilo. Modern cosmologists have formulated rational models for the formation of the universe based upon known, demonstrable evidence. I've yet to see ANY rational evidence for the universe being created.

[John 6IX Breezy]

I've yet to see ANY rational evidence for the universe being created.

Evidence is underdetermistic and theory-dependent; it derives it's meaning from the theory you observe with. Sunrise and sunset, for example, are both evidence for a geocentric and heliocentric universe.

The question to ask isn't what's the evidence for one or the other, but what observation tells the two apart? For example, the parallax effect.

Don't ask for evidence that the universe was created, even an apple on a tree is consistent with a created universe. Instead, look for observations that can distinguish a created universe from a non-created universe.

[The Grand Nudger]

Yes, by all means, look for that, and when you find it, get back to us.

[Foxaèr]

Every believer thinks his interpretation of god is special and most true, while also ironically thinking the more stable, logical interpretation of the non-believer is false.

When it comes to certain realistic understandings, for example that the world operates as though there is no creator in existence while theists illogically see the creator in the mere fact of a tree existing, just goes to show that it stops being a matter of opinion when the theist performs those mental gymnastics for the fantasy to persist instead of simply accepting the reality of god not existing.

god hates a happy ending.

Apparently, this universe only has room for one jerk off.

Everything is interpretation; that is the nature of information as it interacts with the human brain.

We know by empirical observations that the earth resides in a heliocentric system and that apples are not created; they grow on trees. In my youth, I made an honest search for God and creation, and came up empty, which is why I'm an atheist today. I suggest you stop obfuscating. If you have a case for God's existence and creation---make it!
