Stephen’s Choice

Posted in Atheism by Allen on the September 17th, 2008

I have asked regular contributor Stephen to select the topic of our next conversation.  Here it is:

Would I be correct in assuming you [Allen] do not believe in the existence of life after death?

If so, would I be correct in assuming that you do not, therefore, believe in any sort of eternal judgement? (Let’s say - if there is no God, there is no Judge.)

If my assumptions are correct, is it not hugely, wholly and utterly unfair that evil deeds remain unpunished and un-judged?

I appreciate the element of a tormented conscience in this debate, and the benefits of a clear conscience, but if Judgement does not exist (because there exists no Judge), haven’t the unrepentant evildoers got off, as free as can be?
