Has it ever occured to you that if God was both all-powerful and all-loving he wouldn't create a world with suffering in it? There is unnecessary suffering, no one can doubt that. Some point out that we cause suffering to ourselves through our choices, because God gave us free will. Well, not all suffering is caused by other humans. What about natural disaters? Did hurricane Katrina happen because someone out there chose to make other humans suffer? I don't think so.
 
There is no point to having suffering on earth to teach us lessons. If God is all-powerful, he can create a world where we learn through non-painful ways. God can, if he is all-powerful, create a world where we don't suffer while still giving us free will. God has the power to shape this wordl any way he wants, but he doesn't seem to choose to do it in an all-loving way. For those that think a perfect hedonistic paradise would be boring, you don't seem to understand what God can do. God could make it so that we were always happy, and never got bored of it. You might think that God changing our desires is interferring with our free will. However, how is giving us a slightly different set of desires then the one we have any different, really? God gave us the temptation to do bad things, and then said we shouldn't do them. Hmmm, did he really expect us to be good ALL the time? It's like a parent putting a gun in the child's room, and telling them they can't touch or use it cause it's bad, even when the parent knows they gave the child the desire to use the gun.

Why is hell eternal if God loves us? Lets call God our parent for now, its a fair analogy. Parents punish their children for things they did wrong, including the choices we make. However, punishment always has a reason: it's to teach us a lesson. If hell is eternal, then there is no point to it, because we never get out. If I am sent to hell for not believing in God, I wouldn't learn the error of my ways. I would learn to hate God because he stuck me down in hell for eternity.

God sucks.
