I dunno. On one hand, eternity is so long that we cannot possibly comprehend it even if we tried. That seems a tad bit excessive for transgressions committed in the tiny blip of one’s own mortal existence.
On the other hand, I think eventually you’d get used to the fire and brimstone and burning pitchforks and just start enjoying things regardless.
True punishment would be forcing those people to live the lives of every one of their victims, to directly face the consequences of their actions and accept accountability for what they’ve done, and then begin the long road to redemption and eventual forgiveness if they so choose to see the error of their ways, make amends, and change for the better in mind, body and soul.
Of course, that’s a fantasy. The evil dickheads will die and never have to face any consequences for fucking everything up.
People will accept physical torture long before they will truly accept seeing themselves. Physical torment I think is the simplest understanding one can give for what the mind truly fears.
Right, you ever have your finger nails peeled off with some pliers? What about having your bones broken and purposefully misaligned over and over for months? Or have you spent days forcefully conscious and alert on meth despite having so many parts of your body cut and peeled off that you should have gone into shock and passed out within minutes? No, many people would not choose that over therapy; men, maybe, lol
Another news flash for you: you are a physical thing that exists in a physical world. Physical pain is not “simple,” it is literally the only sensation you experience, including the way that emotional pain manifests because of the neurons firing in your brain. I seriously don’t believe in you’ve grappled with the reality of these things and you don’t deserve to speak as the authority you seem to think you are. You don’t have some deeper, more nuanced understanding of these things, you are being reductive in an attempt to appear thoughtful, and it’s actually so fucking disrespectful to the victims of these men. I wasn’t even going to write this but my god, how self-righteous and pompous.
I’m the opposite. If hell is real it doesn’t go far enough.
