Think about it, can you really call yourself truly morally good if you can revel in the suffering of another person indefinitely? Even if said person Is truly evil, even if the person has wronged you. It inherently seems wrong. And then these people also want the concept of hell to be real. Think about what you’d be wishing for? You want someone to suffer eternally in ways incomprehensible, without rest, never being allowed to die. It’s psychopathic when you break it down.
That punishment far exceeds anything any person could have ever done wrong on earth. The worst and most evil villains in fiction have enacted fates like this on characters, yet the average person says this so causally, not fully understanding the weight of what they truly wish on someone. But then again, most people follow a fictional tyrannical omnipotent overlord with a torture fetish so I can’t say that I’m surprised in the slightest.
The difference between us and them is that we don’t pretend to be on this moral high ground like they do. If we turned back the clock, these would be the same people that cheered in colosseums and public execution rallies as petty criminals were brutally ended. People have always rallied together to watch their fellow man suffer.
Their hypocrisy is what makes it very annoying. Some people can hardly sleep at night knowing there’s another individual in the world who went to bed without a warm meal, clean clothes and a safe home. Some people feel for others regardless of the person’s actions. Although I know this kind of empathy is very rare. Most people are morally worse than they paint themselves to be. Same thing when it comes to most people thinking they’re above average intelligence when really they’re average.
