A god who has everything, who is absolute, needs nothing at all, so he needs not to create us, but even if he did then it shouldn't matter to him if we have lack of belief, it doesn't benefit him in anyway to torture people for eternity, he is God
A God who is loving and merciful could not be anything else so he could not create anything evil.
If evil came about all by itself, from a rebellious angel or original sin then it's God own mistakes on his flawed creations so why punish that creation?
How can it benefit God in any way to put people on a trial for 1000s of years, if he created us for himself then he could have always had us the way he wanted us, subservient in heaven.
If you say the trial is all about teaching us a lesson then an eternal punishment teaches us nothing if we could never escape from it and a loving parent could never say to a child do everything I say or die.
If God is absolute, is almighty, needs nothing, and can be worshiped as a God then how can he ever feel anger, doesn't make sense
If he is angry and this is a trial then what is he waiting for to end it, exactly how many people/souls does he need to worship him in heaven?
Thoughts please....
