Why does an all powerfull benevolent god desire to punish those who do not believe in him for eternity?
I can understand the reward/heaven part kinda, but the punishment/hell part seems crazy. Why would he go through the trouble? Why would he be so cruel? Wouldnt the absence from him be punishment enough?? -JP |

IMO it's not for eternity. You most likely reincarnate into a lesser creature and get another chance to rethink what you did wrong in your life as a human, having to suffer with lesser capabilities all the while.
Alternatively, God may come up with something more ingenious to get you to believe in Him. In any case, God always gets it right, even if I don't know what He will do. |

[/ QUOTE ] It could be because the info. about their reincarnation is just vague enough in their subconscious to give them a nagging feeling they're supposed to act according to God's will, but not vivid enough to articulate why. |

"Wouldnt the absence from him be punishment enought??"
Yes, it would. And when one separates themselves from all goodness, all beauty, all happiness etc, what are they left with? The opposite. The fires of a physical Hell would actually be a distraction from the more painful intellectual loss of everything you ever wanted. |

Love the link, Snowball. Jay has a way with words (and pictures).
He's great at pointing out all the drastic things God did, but no so good at explaining why he did them. Since we are lucky enough to have been told the 'big picture' it seems a shame to ignore it. |
