Well I've been more than patient with your non question I think. Forgive me for not working it out for you.

You tell me. I mean... Present a logical argument why he should. What we have is reality. Unless you can present a plausible alternative that we should spend any time on. I don't see any objections from you.

I'm trying to make your argument for you, and you keep coming back with this question. If you follow the Judaic heritage, God already made angels, and then animals. One being already with him, and one never with him. Then he made humans to bridge the divide.

So if this guess is correct, your objection to circumventing reality already happened.
All this time-speak makes it sound like god is bound to time in the same way as we are...

Can you present a logical argument justifying why the system you claim exists is perfect?

This thread is like a flame to you isn't it Ryan?

I 'claim' no such thing. We're discussing the hypothetical idea of timelessness. I'm currently pointing out the points in favour. If you see any flaw please let us know so that we needn't continue in ignorance.

To be fair to LastPoet, I've been trying to find that fr0d0 translator tooTongue
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
