If eternal punishment is unreasonable, isn't it reasonable to say that Bible god is unreasonable?

Question

Stands to reason....

Answer 1

Imagine that you have a father who is a judge. That father "creates" you to be a criminal. Then he makes a special jail for you were you will remain incarcerated for all eternity and tortured for the duration of your stay. Then, he slams the gavel down on his bench and judges you based on how HE made you.

This is reasonable of a loving, all-knowing, omnipotent father?

Also, he creates a special being that is smarter and more powerful than you to tempt you into committing crimes (sins).

Then blames you for giving in?
This is fair and right?

I would tell that father, "You created me and you are responsible for raising me right. You are responsible to be there for me when I need you. Instead, you set me up for failure and prepare a special hell for me to spend eternity in if I don't believe in you. And to top it off, you never reveal yourself to me, and hide behind a 2,000 year old book that was written by men and is filled with logical obsurdities, contradictions, and ridiculousness.

I didn't ask to be brought into this world. You did it, then you failed me."

If God is really omnipotent, he could make his presence obvious to people like me, who are empirically thinking.

If God is really omniscient, He would already know that the day would come when I would become an atheist.

If he was really benevolent, he won't blame me.

Answer 2

Is it unreasonable to think that you have been alive for an eternity? Or that you will be moving through an eternity? Entropy would say otherwise. Perhaps the heat of hell is all the friction of that deceleration, compressed into a person's final moment of existence.

Answer 3

Your reasoning is like this:
1. Eternal punishment is unreasonable.
2. God inflicts eternal punishment.
3. Therefore God is unreasonable.

Your first premise is false. People will go to hell forever, not because they have all done something horribly bad (for even very nice people will go to hell), but because hell will last as long as God does. In hell, people are separated from God. That will be so as long as God is alive, which is forever. Their sentence is forever simply because that's how long God lives.

Your premise should be stated:
1. Eternal punishment is unreasonable.
2. Unbelievers choose to mock God, who sentences unbelievers to eternal punishment.
3. Mockers are unreasonable.

Answer 4

Yes! It is absolutely unreasonable and God-defaming! But
God is not unreasonable, for he does NOT send anyone to eternal torment. Eternal punishment for unfaithfulness is simply eternal death, a lace of consciousness, being out of existence. This is what the Bible teaches............not eternal torment that the churches so often preach!
Ecclesiastes 9:5.10 Ezekiel 18:4

Answer 5

Definitely, but lets not forget all of the other reasons to reasonably and rationally believe that the Bible, and the God portrayed in it are unreasonable.

Answer 6

Eternal punishment is not unreasonable. If you sin against God you die. But Jesus was nailed to the cross and died for our sins so we would not have to die and then he conquered death and rose on the third day.

Answer 7

Yes.
If eternal punishment was unreasonable.
It is perfectly just according to an omniscient God.
It is unreasonable to suppose you are better qualified to judge the nature of things than God.

Answer 8

It is only unreasonable to those who have not given up their sinful lives for God.

Answer 9

eternal punishment is only said to be set for satan and the extremely wicked. so unless your one of them, then how unreasonable is it, really?

Answer 10

I think eternal punishment would be reasonable to do to someone like Hitler, but to do it to someone like me would be unreasonable.
