For those religious persons who believe in a "hell"

1) literally no one believes this
2) they deserve it

Hell would only be for irredeemable sinners who didn't change their ways, so basically there sin would be eternal.
This is why the notion of purgatory existed, as it clears those who die in sin, which is basically everyone, of eternal hellfire.

Also, not every Christian theologian agreed on eternal punishment, but its controversial nature really only existed in the early church. People, like Origen, believed that even the Devil had the chance of redemption in God's eyes.

The current Catholic church really likes to downplay the notion of hell or the devil and focus on God and Jesus. You basically only hear about him during baptisms or the rare bible verses he's referenced in.

It's more complex than merely going to hell for being bad.
There is a god of light and a god of darkness, so you align yourself with the god of darkness you're going to hell.

Go take a bath, Cathar scum

>>3327212
But Im not cathar.

>>3327237
All gnostic scum is the same. And don't try to tell me you're a Mazdaist, because it's the same. Zurvanists have no quarter in Heaven.

>>3327239
I'm merely spiritual, and I have this belief because I have tested it, you're probably one of the many christians that will burn in hell for being christian.
Have fun arguing against science to keep your belief afloat, meanwhile meditation has been proven to improve health and cause spiritual experiences by science.

>an omnibenevolent god (so long as this is applicable to your beliefs),

God isn't "omnibenevolent."

> infinite punishment for sins in a finite time frame?

The crimes of the Moses worshipers are personal offenses against God, God's plan, and God's creatures in the name of God. It's vengeance.

So Christians don't believe that everything which has a beginning has an end? Sad!

>>3328939
Sad for you fuckboy.
Enjoy exposing yourself to the End.

>an omnibenevolent god
Contrary to being repugnant to the goodness of Gos it is the manifestation of that goodness, because it is justice.
>infinite punishment for sins in a finite time frame
There is no such thing as a finite sin against an infinite God.

>>3328955
Lmao next you'll tell me that it's possible to create something from nothing

>>3328991
The notion of a beginning is necessary to create temporal markers without which there would be no common base to place events on a historical timeline.
For example, without Jesus, who knows how many retarded different calendars we'd have.
