Quote:If god is omnipotent, that is not a problem.Actually most translations say he's "all-powerful." Personally I don't see teaching compassion as a function of power.
Quote:Even bigger of a problem still, your own religion promises you a world with all those benefits without suffering as an eternal reward. Now you're trying to have your cake and eat it, too.Where does my religion say that we'll have need for such things in the next life?
