So you are an atheist? Yeah but the offense against God is infinite therefore the punishment must be too.
I don't see how man's offense can be infinite when man only gets a finite lifespan.
Furthermore, you believe the blood of Christ can mitigate the offensiveness. Why should that stop working just because someone's been in hell for awhile?

It doesn't "stop working" when you reject it during your lifetime it's to late too turn back God already gave you your last chance then.

Why should it ever be 'too late' to be saved? Again, what happened to God's mercy?

God's mercy was rejected on Earth, after after you die it's too late, you can't change it, that is your last chance, you don't like it too bad, it's true.

One thing that both the Book of Mormon and the New and Old Testament prove conclusively is that people in the Middle East talked like Shakespeare for the past 4000 years.

I don't HAVE to, if it sounds reasonable then I probably will believe it. But that's just dumb.
It's like finding your son's fingerprints on a murder weapon. You may tell everyone he's innocent. You may try to convince yourself that he's innocent, somehow. But in your heart you know he did it.
