God can make infinitely more special/valuable things than this universe

[blue grey brain]

Bel

She considers much affliction to be a positive, while also feeling an absolute duty to undo as much of other people's as possible. I don't quite grasp this yet,

A much simpler explanation would be a parent punishing a child. The parent sees it as loving while the child considers it painful until they grow up and reach the understanding that it was for their good. While other parents in walmart give dirty looks at you punishing your children in public.

I make a simple point; if the theist doesn't take this universe's creation to be the end of God's supposedly unending power, then the theist ought to expect that God would have created far better things, in whatever ways God would decide to select.

If God could create infinitely more things of intrinsically more value, and God created us, then aren't we of intrinsically infinite value? Or at the very least do we have intrinsic value is God created us?

Whatever our value is in the religious regime, it would contrast omnipotence's definition to presume that this universe's creation represented the end of the supposedly omnipotent force's unending power.
