      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Humans can commit sins against an infinite being (God), making the offense's magnitude infinite regardless of finite human capacity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Infinite punishment deters only if possible; a finite being committing infinite evil justifies infinite deterrent consequences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
