Agreed. The OP comment suggests it's above my pay grade to suggest Hitler would go to hell if it exists, which is just baffling.
Infinite punishment can never be just for anything done in a finite time, no matter how henious.
Not that I'm saying hell or heaven exists, but if hell were truly eternal, it couldn't be just even towards to worst of the worst.
How could anyone even know hell is infinite? Humans have been around, what, ~10k years? ~6k years of you're a young earth creationist. Six million life sentences (call it a hundred years) wouldn't even have begun to be complete.
I'm just going by the commonly accepted canon. Perhaps a temporary hell would work, maybe, though that concept already exists in Christianity as purgatory which is not commonly thought to be the same thing.
I'm genuinely not able to figure out what you're trying to say. My best interpretation is that you're saying no one deserves eternal damnation in response to a comment about Hitler going to hell. If that's the case, what a weird take my dude
That's indeed what he was saying. If there's any actual concept of Justice on a cosmic level, then "eternity" is certainly not a "just" punishment for anything done by a mortal, subject to circumstances and born into a world they had no choice in. In a "just" universe with a punitive afterlife, Hitler would get back an equivalent amount of suffering to that which he caused. So maybe a few hundred million years worth of suffering, but not eternity.
From an actual christian viewpoint, it is. "Vengeance is mine (alone)"
Edit: Actually, a reference isn't hard to come by, so https://biblehub.com/niv/romans/12.htm
I genuinely have no desire to read Bible references at this point in my life.
