(November 11, 2022 at 2:39 pm)Ahriman Wrote: I don't know about suffering in Hell, or how/why it would be worse than suffering in this life, but in terms of suffering in this life, God probably figured it was better for humans to suffer and exist than not suffer and not exist, by which I mean, suffering might have been an essential ingredient when creating humanity.

If God had to make an engineering compromise just to get humans to live he sounds more like an alien from an advanced civilization than the creator of reality itself.
