Some very cruel people, who have made life miserable for others, may deserve a lengthy period of punishment. We may even grant, for the sake of argument, that some deserve thousands of years of intense punishment. But can anyone literally merit unending punishment? It is natural to suppose that each sin a person commits merits some finite degree of punishment. To take an analogy from the legal sphere, we normally suppose that a burglar deserves a few years of imprisonment, and that it would be unjust to imprison him indefinitely. However, to put the point crudely, if each sin an unrepentant sinner commits adds a finite number of years in hell, the total number of years in hell will be finite (assuming the number of sins is finite).

PZ, if you like that, check out one of Jonathan Coulton's other songs, "I Crush Everything". Without spoiling things, I think you'll appreciate the subject matter.

Go to http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songs , scroll down to the album "Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow" and you should find it.

Is this the same guy who wrote "Code Monkey?" That song is so adorable it practically brings a tear to my eye.

That's a cool video, but I like this version better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTq6jH-YkHM

And if you want to see The Man himself doing it live with zombie audience participation, go here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=AjcH2UmK1uo

Nice one, but I'm always amazed about the movements those WoW characters can make ...
