If we were created by god, than there's only one thing that is undeniable. Among all the millions of species that have ever lived during the millions of years that life has existed on the planet, we're the only ones that can reason with logic. In short, what makes us special is that we're uniquely super intelligent.
So, if there's god, we were made to think. That's ALL we can know for sure. Fine. So what do all religions tell you to do - stop thinking logically and take it on faith. WTF?
Lets apply some rational thought to eternal torment and see where we get. God is all powerful. Fair enough. God makes us. Cool. God makes us inherently sinful. Doesn't matter how hard you try, you're goin' stuff up. Right. So that means God is either, very cruel or majorly inept.
Either way, the outcome is the same - we were created sick and yet commanded to be well. Oh and here's the kicker. If we can't manage to achieve what the creator couldn't do or didn't want to do, we get punished for eternity.
Good luck finding a justification for that one! The design of your average prostate is more logical and those things are a mess!
