We are already being punished. As more people turn to deviancy their fates will be written deep into hell. That's what the bible said about the end times. That the vast majority of people will go to hell.
If God can see the future, why would He create all these people that are just gonna wind up in Hell anyway? He KNEW this would happen, before He even created them.
Idk, I am not really a devout believer myself I just am remembering the most intriguing details to me about the bible. I remember that the Simpsons had an episode related to revelations in the bible as well.
I think the bible is an interesting historical document peppered with allegorical stories, they are not meant to be taken literally (walking on water, etc). One of my favorite parts is that 'Lucifer' means 'bringer of light', lol. Several of my family no longer speak to me, after I made them aware of this (Deep South Baptists can be as scary as fundamentalist Muslims).
