christian argument:a crime against a infinite God deserves infinite punishment
Answer:you cannot commit a crime against an infinite god,by definition.He cannot be slighted or harmed by anything,that is a deficiency.
so a finite crime against an infinite god does not deserve infinite punishment.Such a thing therefore is unjust.
Sinning against god alone harms no one but ourselves. And the proper response to that is not to punish them fprever— but through accountability and healing, guide them away from the destructive nature of their sin,even if there is some finite punishment involved.
god could punish sinners with annihilation aswell,which would minimize sin and also stop suffering.However life is good by nature since he can only create good,and if god chooses total death,it would mean he is unjust aswell.
god instead chooses the option that maximizes both sin and suffering(eternal hell), which directly conflicting with His nature as a morally perfect being and omnibenevolent.
So hell seems like a petty childlike attempt of god at saying 'I told you so'.
