Pretty sure that’s not how it works

Im neither a Christian nor a bible expert but i thought satan was just one of 7 deadly sins and not the punisher of bad people? Wasn't there an entity called "the devil" that is referred to as satan and/or lucifer but is basically an entire different entity to lucifer and satan? Also isn't hell a general place of suffering/redemption and the deadly sins are just luring people there?

That's how i understood it. Didn't read the bilbe tho, only got this from references and random fun "facts" over the years so it could be completely wrong

Justice≠Revenge, otherwise Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and the rest, would be justified.
If every evil was stopped though it would be the end of 'our trip'/'any possible progress'.

Apparently atheists don't understand the concept of forgiveness.

What is forgiveness to you?

To a lot of people, forgiveness comes when the person who did wrong feels regret over their actions. Not regret for the consequences, but regret for the harm that their actions caused.

Tbh, if someone is hoping that just paying false lip service will guarantee then forgiveness from an all knowing being, I'll wonder what exactly it is that they believe. An all knowing God would know whether you actually regret harming someone, or if you just regret not getting into heaven. Is there any chance you could explain that to me? I have seriously never understood why some religious people believe that they could fool an all knowing God.

If that amount of sin is forgiven easily, I would argue that many of the harmless actions that current organized reliegon is against would also be forgiven.
