    Ehh I mean some people who are irredeemably awful and would do awful things when given the chance 10 times out of 10…

    Though that’s more about who they are.

      There are acts which deserve severe punishment. Perhaps multiple lifetimes of the most severe punishment one can imagine.

      But there is no such act that, in this finite world, by finite humans, merits infinite punishment.

        Which is why traditional understandings of Hell are just distance from God in the eternal group hug.

        Larry niven and Jerry pournelle did a riff on Dante’s inferno where a science fiction writter wakes up in hell with this theme. Do recommend.

      Even that is a product of their upbringing. They can be fixed, it’s a matter of long time, it hey, God has all the time in the world.

      But eternal damnation is more fun

          Even if that were true, we’re literally talking about magic here. Either through therapy or wiggling his magic digits a deity should be able to fix anyone.

            No, it’s literally true. Some people are irredeemable piles of trash.

            Interesting how so many are voting me down while the US has a PRESIDENT on a SECOND TERM that openly admits to sexually assaulting women and ignoring many, many basic tenants of human decency…, it’s almost like you morons are completely disconnected from reality. Sad.

              No one said it’s easy, and when someone has terrible concepts at the core, it might actually require some time in Hell before any change can be made. But it is possible.

              Also, the other commenter rightfully stated that a deity can literally flip the worldview of anyone if they want to.

              You just completely ignored a good philosophical take to make a “Trump bad” statement, which already pervades everything here and adds 0 context to the conversation.

                If you think I’m only talking of Trump then you’re pretty damn ignorant to the entire point I’ve made. Good job failing both reading comprehension and the paradox of tolerance.
