Hell


I already mentioned that Christianity has a weird idea about incest, a nasty idea about responsibility, about its tendency to praise sycophants,  and about its incoherent God, now let's talk about one of the most fundamental tenet of Christianity: its belief in hell.

Not only hell is the most terrible place where the most horrible tortures were done, those torture also last forever. Wow ... really wow. 

I think I need to inform Christians that this kind of punishment is too much. Really. Who is cruel enough to torture someone forever? Who is cruel enough to give such un-proportionally un-thinkable, infinite punishment to anyone?

Seriously, NOBODY deserved infinite torture. Not Hitler, not Stalin, not Solano Lopez, NO ONE deserved infinite cruelty and agony. Because all of their cruelty is still far from infinite. No human being with their limited life-span and power can commit infinite crime.

That's why "Hell" become my second most favorite response to the argument "you can't be moral without religion"! Ha! Without religion, no one will think that infinite pain as just! You call that moral? I call that sadism.

Heck, one of the most prominent Christian theologian even cherished eternal torture! Do you remember this quote:

"The greatest joy of Heaven is in watching the torments of the damned in Hell--a spectacle far more pleasing than any upon Earth."
-- Tertullian in De Spectaculis

Q.E.D. Sadism is a logical consequence of ANY doctrine that involves eternal torture.
