what's especially heinous (and possibly heretical) about this line of thought, is that HUMAN RATIONALITY IS ARGUABLY THE IMAGE OF GOD.
Christ IS Logos folks!
The problem of hell

Yes, Christ is Logos, not man. If man seeks to make himself Logos then he's in for a rough day.
Andrew Rivera
This, and to go a step further, just imagine how terrible an offense to the infinite. The knowledge of that offense, completely contrary and completely alien to a nature of pure love, is eternal, it was present before you were born and will be after you die. God's wrath is is the eternal contradiction between our sins and his nature. It is beyond time, beyond limits, and if God is to have and sense of right, any sense of justice, that wages of that offense must be payed for in full. God never choose for the prodigal son to walk away from him.
Justin White
False dichotomy. Using God's gift to honor God is not attempting to replace God.
Noah Gray
Really? Not even if you're a Calvinist?
Leo Hall
this doesn't answer the question of punitive vs reformative justice.
Aiden Bailey
Actually its not hell itself that trips me up. Its the idea of having children that I have trouble wrapping my head around.
Isaiah Foster
Did I say anything in the defense of heretics?
Your entire line of reasoning would convict most, if not all the Church Fathers of either the West or the East too.
John Turner
This life is the reformative justice, what is known as active purgation. You have nearly a hundred years to complete it. If, before your death, you have not completed this, you go through passive purgation, what's known as purgatory. Either way, justice of an eternal nature is only metted out for those who do not ask for God help in the matter. A word is all it takes.
Noah Martin
Well, you asked for it.
