I think you're condemned to some nasty death and resurrected again continuously for a lifetime of pain. Or that could be my mother telling me stories to get me to behave as a child. Who knows.Flaming_Maniac wrote:
but ultimately hellfire is your punishment. Mankind has figured out better forms of punishment for pricks like these, that is seriously the best God can do? The evil mankind can do to each other should not be more than a match for the punishment for the evildoers.m3thod wrote:
You're not consumed by hellfire....yet. You're in 'stasis' until judenment day where you will be questioned about your life. Essentially your good has to be greater than your bad and from there your route will be chosen.
You pray 5 times a day because it is commanded by god. You dont ask for anything.
I think its unfair to compare the punishment/torture methods available to humans to methods they we have no real knowledge of.
We don't know how harsh or lenient God's methods are, but we do know that what those people did to that kid are really beyond appalling. What did she do to be punished in this life, first by disability and then that? Do you believe she had a fair chance at proving herself worthy of eternal salvation?
