Islamic heaven is off my to-do list, then. I've had a male partner. I've had a female one. I prefer being single, and I certainly don't want to be stuck in a relationship for fucking eternity.
I don't think a relationship, or anything else in heaven, will be inconvenient. The very purpose of heaven is enjoyment. God will make it so that you necessarily enjoy whatever happens in heaven.

Plenty of people are morons who believe in moronic things, we know, thanks for the info. God annihilating both Hitler and his victims forever, with no justice served, is infinitely malevolent and evil. It radically contradicts benevolence. If you disagree with that, I am not sure you have the equipment to continue this conversation.

I know what the word benevolent means and that's enough. We can understand properties without personally possessing these properties.

Right, you only said that God is mysterious. And by that you meant that God is only mildly, but not completely, mysterious. So we do know some things about God, as traditionally conceived, after all, huh ?
