The Ultimate Violence
(2)
Further examples of God's love of violence can be found all over the Old and Odius Testament: The Great Flood; The plagues of Egypt; Sodom and Gemorah... and I could go on and on but you get the idea.
The most damning of all God's sins against Humanity must certainly be the creation of Hell. Hell is the place of eternal suffering. God created Hell for the purpose of torturing forever those creatures of his creation who pissed Him off for various reasons. Hell is the ultimate violence. The creator of Hell is the ultimate Creature of Violence. There is none more violent.
In fact, even in theory and speculation there is not a more violent concept than Hell.
Contrast this vision of Human destiny with that of Science: Science suggests that you are born, you will live your life, and you will die. You will die forever. You will never return. Nothing of you will remain. Your 'constituents' in the form of the elements which composed you will certainly remain: they are indestructible. But 'You' were only the 'form' those elements took for a time. That form is ephemeral.
This is a simple, brutal view of life. But notice that it is not at all a violent or malicious view. Are you suffering? It will end. Are you ecstatic? It will end. Are you bored? It will end. Are you horney? It will end.
This is the essential difference between the religious view and the scientific view.
