I am talking about the morality of the character, regardless of the character being historical or fictional, regardless of Hell being true or false, and regardless of any religion being true or false. A person who thinks it is right to inflict an infinite amount of pain on others is a person with an abominable ethical code. Ethics encompasses actions and thoughts. One can argue that Jesus' ethical code is superb if you remove Hell and that very well might be true but if you remove Hell you're no longer talking about Jesus' ethical code but of someone else's. |
