And how does adding that qualifier make the delay any more satisfactory?
Hmm I believe this is a strawman unless I misunderstood what you said. Was point A referring to reality and how Jesus didn't exist or that Jesus wasn't sent to earth at the beginning of humanity?

I accept your hypothetical in this scenario. My point is, even by your standard, your god failed. Given the tardiness in sending Jesus to remove evil and suffering means he isn't always willing and given Jesus's failure to actually remove the evil and suffering, his ability is questionable as well.

I agree. I look back now and think it's rather funny I was getting away with such a loose argument.
