No. I think it's very interesting. Are we debating whether or not God is mean or are whether or not he has the right to be mean or to make laws for us to follow and give out punishment for disobeying? Can he make laws and punish us and also be loving? We make rules for our children and punish them and love them and give them good things. Do you think that God, being omniscient, has a good reason for putting us through our trials? You can't know this unless you take into consideration the whole of our existence.
