mLine 2:
Line 2: − 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... − (dmcallister 10/14/09) Line 22:
Line 16: − − One can answer NO, that god does not punish for eternity only if no fewer than two conditions are accepted. − − 1) god does not "punish" for eternity because he in fact loves his children. For what parent would damn their child to eternal suffering, certainly not a good one. − − 2) That god does not exist and therefore the question is irrelevant and the concept of eternal punishment was fabricated by man, for the purpose of controlling man. − (dmcallister 10/10/09)

:But the questions remains "Does God punish?" No, God doesn't punish. By being cast out of the eternal life of Heaven (through mans own fault), the devil punishes those who end up in Hell. For the devil hates man, made in the likeness of God.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 17:44, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
