[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

How the Sam Hell do you arrive at the conclusion I'm an atheist?

Because if you think that life in prison is worse punishment than death, then you either don't believe in Hell (Luke 16:24 ...Father Abraham, have mercy on me... for I am tormented in this flame.) or you think it isn't that big a deal.

If it's a religious issue, more people would be for life.

Oh?

Luke 23
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Romans 1
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Hell is relative. Satan roams the Earth, Satan does his work through those who would rape, murder, or commit other sins. Satan was cast out of Heaven, but he wasn't cast off the Earth.
