However, I neither hold that this individual did what he did as a result of depravity (hopeless lostness) nor without guilt (both objective and felt), nor would I hold that he has acted rationally in regard to a recognition of nihilism (as such could equally lead to seeking God/meaning). Rather, he acted rationally in EMBRACING nihilism. In light of a freewill choice, the individual would be acting with total disregard to the ever present moral imperative, by rejecting it and ultimately nulifying it? Embracing a posture of meaninglessness and then acting rationally in reaction to said posture.

How could an all-good, all-loving God send someone to be eternally punished on account of their mere depravity? It's almost as if God condemns humans for recognizing their supposed fallenness and therefore acting upon it...Theology is so screwed up. You’re saying he went to hell?
