The Following Passage Contains an Argument That Is Somewhat Complex

Essay

The following passage contains an argument that is somewhat complex, either because it makes complicated claims or contains a lot of supplementary information. Represent the argument in standard form.
The passage: … God, if we are to believe an orthodox story, has prescribed eternal torment [in Hell] as a punishment for insubordination…. The orthodox story is explicit about the temporal scale of the punishment: it is to go on forever. Many of those who tell the orthodox story are also concerned to emphasize the quality of the punishment. The agonies to be endured by the damned intensify, in unimaginable ways, the sufferings we undergo in our earthly lives. … Although those who elaborate the orthodox account are sometimes concerned with the fit between crime and punishment, there is no possibility of a genuine balance. For the punishment of the damned is infinitely disproportionate to their crimes. [Therefore, God could never be justified in condemning anyone to Hell.]
(Quoted from Quoted from David Lewis (2007), "Divine Evil," in Philosophers Without Gods, ed. Louise Antony (Oxford University Press), p. 232.)
