Just as Hitler created the nazi death machine, so, according to christianity, god created the damnation machine. And if Hitler was directly responsible for the Holocaust, and I think that any reasonable person would say that he was, then god is directly responsible for mass damnation.
If one good soul comes out of this creation then it was all worth it, don't you think?
Hmmm... So according to you, one good soul is worth billions of souls in eternal torment.
Other than laughing, I really don't know how to respond. Lets think...
Ah, yes, the Hitler analogy. Would one upright and pure aryan ubermensch be worth the Holocaust and WW2?
According to your 'thinking', the answer is yes.
I suspect that anyone with a shred of ethical decency would answer otherwise.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
