Hell, as a place of eternal torment, cannot be justified

Thanks Pro. As again I will provide counter-rebuttals and make assertions of my own in an attempt to justify an eternal torment in hell. "Whether the human soul is eternal or not was not my concern with this argument. My argument states that since human beings only commit a finite amount of sin since they can only live "X" years until they die, why would a finite time of sin justify an *eternal* fate of torment for a human soul forever?" - Pro Actually whether or the human soul is eternal is important It is part of my premise of why a hell is as a place of eternal torment is justifiable. As said before since (for the sake of this argument) a damnable person who had an eternal soul went to hell then it would be logical to conclude that their eternal soul would have an eternal punishment. This in turn would be up my second assertion. Sin is not finite. It doesn't matter of how many X years you commit sin, even if you sin once then when you die you go to hell. Sin has eternal consequences and I apologize for my rough use of words, but the belief that sin is finite is a fallacy. If a person sinned their whole life compared to a person who sinned once, then they both (without a savior) would go to an eternal torment in hell. It only makes sense that a crime with eternal consequences deserves an eternal punishment. 2) my own doubts about whether an eternal hell exists or not is irrelevant to this debate. You are taking the side arguing that such a hell exists. It's your burden of proof (as you've said), to argue why this eternal place of torment is justifiable. Furthermore, whether or not *Hitler* went to hell doesn't disprove my analogy. Why would somebody extremely evil, who lived in a time period after somebody less evil, be sentenced to eternal torment earlier if the person who was more evil deserves more punishment? - Pro I apologize then for my deviation of my burden of proof. It seems to me that in my personal belief that since a hell as a place of eternal torment is justifiable then surely it must exist. Back on topic you said in your opener that, "This is not a hell of varying degree but the worst hell imaginable for everyone going to hell." Wouldn't these lesser and greater offenders go to the same hell with the same punishment for the same amount of time in the context of eternity? Thus justice is in fact fulfilled. Recap: 1. The human soul is eternal. 2. Everyone has sinned. 3. Sin has eternal consequences. 4. An eternal "offender", must go to an eternal "prison", so that he can be "punished" eternally. It appears that a hell as a place of eternal torment is perfectly justifiable. Last assertion: If per say that you theoretically were in the upper room of a hotel. A fire suddenly starts in the lower lobby and your friend warns you about that fire. You don't listen to his advice, because you don't believe him. A while later you smell the smoke yet again you still don't believe that there is a growing fire in the hotel. A little while later your friend comes back and pleads with you to escape from the hotel, but you are prideful and don't listen to his advice. Hours later you perish to the fire. If someone gave you a warning assuming that their was an eternal hell with eternal torments and you did not heed their warnings, then you alone are responsible for yourself and your eternal torment would be justifiable.
