==Yes==
==Yes==
One can answer YES only under the presumption that god does exist and if their answer is yes, then he/she must also accept the following.
1)The conception of god as a parent figure must be false, for no parent would impose eternal suffering on their child. Modern ethical examination proves this point.
2)A god which imposes such punishment must embody character traits which if observed in human beings, would be labeled as reprehensible. This is true because if a human being were given the power to model their children in the way god is considered to have created man. Then he we would logically create and guide his children with the distinct motive of avoiding suffering. If instead suffering was imposed supposedly as a result of the childs flaw, then such a flaw must also be reflected in the creator of that child. The creator presumably having knowledge of this fallibility would have allowed it only secondary to an intrinsic vindictive, apathetic or callous character, which must then be present in god. So if you are willing to accept this, by all means condemn your fellow men to eternal damnation with the presumtion that you have not been ignorant of your own faults. Good luck...
