    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Infinite demerit admits of degrees, just as Cantor showed that infinite sets can have different cardinalities and magnitudes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A crime against an infinitely perfect being carries infinite demerit, yet sins differ in their finite contributing factors, producing ordered infinite demerits.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Aquinas held that punishment proportionate to sin can vary in duration and intensity while each mortal sin still merits an infinite privation of the ultimate end.

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.God's infinite dignity grounds infinite demerit as a floor, not a ceiling, leaving room for graduated punishments that reflect finite aggravating differences among sins.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
