However‚ there is a problem associated with the existence of hell‚ especially if the idea that there is a morally perfect theistic god is proposed. The idea that there is an irreversible hell where people can be sent would be incompatible with the theistic god‚ for primarily the fact that no matter what the sin has been‚ the core component of justice is that the punishment should be equal to the sin committed.
