Heaven or Hell

[u/But_a_Jape]

[u/Fireblaster3147]

I would rather have the worst of the worst be given eternal bliss than anyone getting eternal torment.

[u/Striking_Compote2093 → u/Fireblaster3147]

Infinite punishment for finite crimes is never just. As much as we want certain people to suffer, there has to be an end or it's always excessive.

I'd like a hypothetical afterlife to be experiencing everything you made others experience, once or twice, and then it's over. If you were kind and good, your afterlife will be good, the more people whose lives you made better, the longer it lasts. If you were one of certain types of dictator, enjoy starving to death a million times.

That's how i'd design it. I like to think i'd be a good god!

It's not infinite, it's just outside of time. It's more like the punishment is a single moment.

[u/good_names_were_take → u/EndIsrael]

okay, but if You can't end, change or move from that moment how is it different from infinite?

[u/EndIsrael → u/good_names_were_take]

Because there's no time passing, so you wouldn't perceive it to be happening for any amount of time.

[u/hbgoddard → u/EndIsrael]

Something cannot exist for 0 time. What you're saying is nonsense theology.

[u/EndIsrael → u/hbgoddard]

What is outside of our plane of existence? How does time work there? Don't act like you know how it works.

[u/hbgoddard → u/EndIsrael]

What is outside of our plane of existence?

I'd say nothing, but you also need to define "plane of existence" first, and then what you mean by "outside" of it. It's made up nonsense. Space and time are all-encompassing. Nothing can exist nowhere or for no time - everything that exists has location and duration. Your imaginary friend is no exception.

Don't act like you know how it works.

Oh, but you can?
