Actually, it is absolutely necessary is God is just.

Youre saying that there is no length of time appropirate to be punished for any act?

My idea of what is "appropriate" has no bearing on the "beneficence" of God.

Anybody know where he’s buried, so that I can go piss on his grave.

It’s wrong to laugh at that, but I did anyway.

The idea of eternal punishment in hell is not reconcilable with the idea of a benevolent God.

Sure it is, when you realize that God is free, in the truest sense possible, and that He made you in His image. He made you free. Therefore, if you choose to separate yourself from Him, He's going to honor that choice.

On the other hand, you can repent and enjoy eternal life and all the blessings that go with it.

It's entirely up to you. He did His part.

Nice daisies planted on that grave, too.

They look like they need some water.
