If she were all loving and not believing in her would send me to hell, she would want me to believe and would give me a better reason to believe than a book written by sun baked goat herders from 2000 years ago; besides which, if she can't get us into heaven without believing in her, doesn't that kinda take away her claim to be all powerful?
These are your claims for how an omnipotent God would operate. How do you know that an omnipotent God would agree with you?
It seems to me kind of a big claim to imagine that you know the mind of a deity, or that a deity would necessarily think just as you do.
(Also, as a matter of historical truth, the Bible was not written by goat herders 2000 years ago.)
So, you're saying that the creation of a perfect god was created with a mind so imperfect that I'm unable to comprehend her? Again, that seems like a flaw that she easily could have remedied. Christians always seem to lack imagination when considering the potential of an all powerful god.
