What is the purpose behind an eternal hell?

[-57]

What did I do, to deserve an eternal punishment?
Especially considering that you do not know anything about me...



No. Mercy would simply be "I won't punish you", without further additional nonsense.
For mercy, there is no requirement at all that "someone else" must take the punishment.

That makes zero sense.

Punishing a scapegoat for the crimes of others is not mercy. It's just absurd.



Why? What has everyone done that they deserve an eternal punishment?

Your mindreading device seems broken.

According to my beliefs (ie: my moral standards and sense of justice), people should be judged on an individual basis based on what they actually DID.

According to my beliefs (ie: my moral standards and sense of justice), an infinite punishment for a finite crime is also always unjust.

According to my beliefs (ie: my moral standards and sense of justice), punishing a scapegoat for the crimes of others, is absurd and immoral.

According to my beliefs (ie: my moral standards and sense of justice), holding people responsible for crimes committed by their ancestors, is absurd and immoral.

According to my beliefs (ie: my moral standards and sense of justice), handing out punishments OR rewards based on what people believe (on faith, of all things...), is absurd and immoral.



I have no problem with mercy when it is appropriate. There can be lots of reasons.

But my idea of mercy is limited to simply the guilty being spared of the punishment that (s)he deserves on paper. There is no requirement that someone MUST be punished. The idea that mercy can only be given to criminal A, if innocent person B goes to jail in the place of A - while A even gets a reward instead, is absurd beyond words. It's immoral beyond words.

Show me how evolution designed it......I've been waiting.

I thought so.

 

[bhsmte]

The evidence is in the DNA.

How so, explain in detail, in your own words.

Allow me to interject for a moment... how does evolution "design" anything?

Don't play ignorant...you know exactly what I mean.

It's a extremely complex code.

I'm not playing ignorant. I really don't know what you mean, because an insentient process cannot design anything.

Which is why it didn't evolve.

No comment.

No comment.

Considering you don't understand what a DNA code is...then I expect no comment from you.

You are full of laughs.

 

[-57]

You are full of laughs.

You bet I am.

Lets make it simple for you.....There is an instruction code containing information in DNA that tells organelle how to make other organelle and carry out a task in the cell.

The instructions in the DNA code tell the atoms to form molecules. The molecules are then instructed to make amino acids chains. The amino acids then are insructed how to become proteins. The proteins are instructed by the information in the DNA code how to fold and group together and form organelle. The organelle then follow the DNA code and perform work in a cell.

So, how does a sophisticated process such as described above arrive through a process of gradual unguided random chance and natural selection?

back in post 506 I said.....It's a extremely complex code...and your final response is "you are full of laughs". Perhaps I am. The last laugh.

Now to make DNA even more incredible scientist just confirmed there's a second layer of information hidden in our DNA.....two codes in one.

News flash....evolutionism didn't create the DNA code.

Complexity is not proof of the existence of a deity. Think of how complex the machine is that you're using to post on this forum, let alone the operating system, the drivers necessary to facilitate I/O, the graphical user interface, the browser, and the forum database itself... surely you aren't going to contend that a deity created those, too?

What you talked about came from a ...mind....That you can't disagree with.

The complexity I clearly demonstrated in post 513 tells us a mind was required to create DNA and its information containing code. It becomes readly apparent that the extremely complex and sophisticated DNA code with all of its information was intelligently designed and could not have possibly evolved through a process of gradual unguided random chance and natural selection.

It is the belief of many, many people that the intelligent mind was that of diety.

You're an atheist...don't worry about a thing. Eat, drink and be merry.

When the process to get it is also complicated it's rather likely though that intelligence was needed.
Intelligence can explain what we find in reality, dead unconscious purposeless laws of nature can not.

An atheist should believe dead unconscious purposeless forces could have done it, since it is much much simpler than living nature.
