 Then I suggested "and what if having all of our problems solved FOR us gives us nothing to work for?  What if human development is based on overcoming adversity?"




That is the sort of thing that Christians often claim in an attempt at excusing god from fixing things in discussions of the problem of evil.

Also, the idea of paying an omnipotent being is rather silly.  If it is omnipotent, it can effortlessly create anything it wants, so it has no need of payment from anyone.

Also, in the qualifications, once the being has omnipotence and omniscience, that already covers the other listed qualifications.  It already knows everything and can do everything.  And with that, it could effortlessly solve all of our problems in the best way.


As an aside, I can meet two of the requirements of the interview.  I will let you think about which two I might mean and leave it a mystery for those unable to figure it out.
