In what way was the relationship broken?

I guess we are fortunate Christians don't judge on what something "looks" like but rather consider the substance or the meaning of their beliefs.

I see so we were meant to be something similar to cosmic pets?

Sin then is responsible for the molecular decay of organic life comparable to entropy and or catalytic breakdown? Does this only apply to humans/animals or does this affect plant life as well?

If the soul is burned in fire for time without end how is it destroyed? Mustn't there be "something" to burn for eternity?

I guess this means I am exempt from the fiery destruction of the Judeo/Islamo/Christian paradigm.

Interesting, so God is going to torture a part of himself for the entropic (sinful) tendencies of carbon atoms (dust)?

Satan then wasn't separated from God when he was cast out of Heaven? Why not just send him to the gulag post haste rather than allowing him the opportunity to imprison God in fiery torment?

Your little game is like my 4 year old, asking "why", "why", "WHY". But never really making any sense of things in her under-developed mind. She's looking for simple answers to things that are allien to her.
Well it does say that one must be like a child to enter into the kingdom, I don't see what the problem is.

Right now you aren't helping realize anything other than the incoherency of contemporary Christian reasoning.

Agreed and we need to know what it is we are talking about and the logical implications of such beliefs.
