      Eh, an eternity of torment is too much no matter how many sins are committed in a single lifetime anyway.

        Fear mechanisms sure are effective. It took a real long time to get to where people don’t put all their trust into the imaginary extradimensional space wizard. The comfort is that we’re mortal, and those fuckheads WILL DIE eventually.

          I’m curious whether it was believers who are mad on behalf of their god, or non-believers who are as vindictive as the god they don’t believe in.

        You are so gullible to think that they would simply allow themselves to suffer in hell. They’ll probably try to take Lucifer’s throne. I’d do that.

      The horror of someone who believes deeply in eternity realizing in the very last moment of existence that there is no eternity, no nothing in fact, after this moment isn’t a fitting punishment for a villain?

      I dunno, don’t knock it til you try it.

        I cross many lines people consider ethical out of my hatred for them. There is no good and evil naturally, just what we create, and I have an admittedly unhealthy bottomless wellspring of hatred for the billionaire class. There’s no “enough”, not by any means, to satisfy the totality of the ill intent I wish upon them.

          Which is love, which may wear scary forms, but it is always what gives us the power to sustain as beings through the fucking constant pain of suffering and injustice both within and without.

          Billionaires should not exist.

        IDK. Annihilation is not frightening. I will not be awake to experience it. The only frightening thing is that it’s hard to conceptualize not existing so you default to the nearest thing you can imagine which is a black void or being trapped in a coffin.
