But since you mention it, why should an omnipotent god who's claimed to be perfectly merciful use the fear of eternal punishment to compel belief? Couldn't he find a better way to offer us salvation, such as accepting an apology or something? That shit's not so hard for me. Why is it so hard for the Christian god?
