I realize that my personal theology is rather liberal, but I have a hard time believing that an infinitely merciful god would have a special place reserved to torture those who don`t quite measure up. And I think the sentence to the damned deserved to be considered as well... it`s not just a flogging or anything of the like... its infinite amounts of pain for an infinite amount of time. I just doesn`t add up to me. Furthermore, this would require god to be vengeful, which would in turn require God to posses human emotions. A truly transcendent god wouldn`t have human emotions. I may just be following JP2`s views (God bless him!) when I say this, but I seriously doubt there is a literal hell. --[[User:SLionel|SLionel]] 00:14, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

:So your a Universalist? And the punishment fits the crime perfectly: God is Infinite and Eternal, and your crime is Sin, or rebellion against God. What punishment will truly absolve you of such a crime besides eternal punishment? Yes, god is loving and all of that, but he IS just, and demands justice for crimes. Furthermore, do you have biblical proof to deny hell exists? Because theres plenty of proof in the bible it does.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 00:24, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

::Yes, but there`s also biblical proof that Jesus and God are loving. What crime in your opinion is deserving of infinite punishment? I can`t think of one, myself. As for your first question, maybe, I don`t know what a universalist is :) .--[[User:SLionel|SLionel]][[User_Talk:SLionel|<sup>Say "hi!"</sup>]] 00:38, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
