Great point! The dead may never change. Is it fair to eternally damn them from a modern perspective?
One of the reasons I left religion was principally this eternal damnation practice. It’s extreme. The variety of life and even the universe requires nuance and forgiveness.
- roca 7y agoThere's plenty of nuance and forgiveness in traditional religion. Speaking of which, Asimov was certainly aware that "thou shalt not covet" and "whoever looks at a woman lustfully..." had been preached for a couple of thousand years, so it's not like he had no idea what he was doing could possibly be wrong.
