2. The limitlessness of hell (and heaven) are both nonsensically said to be results from limited action

Hell is a curious concept wherein a limited individual, by means of his/er limited actions, can bring about a limitless (eternal) result, punishment.
Like hell, eternal-unlimited heaven is also said to be achieved through some small, limited activities.

So, logically, limited mankind has the god-like ability to manifest eternal limitlessness; as though like a perpetual motion machine.
Hell seemingly violates the laws of thermodynamics, if not the logic of a gracious god. Heaven violates only the first.

Apparently limitless-god is expected (by some of the limited) to exact limitless-punishment.

Personally I think the bored denizens of heaven take hell-cruise-vacation trips for diversion.
