If god is omnipotent, it makes no sense that he would create evil beings, just to condemn them to hell....since he supposedly loves all his creations and wants them beside him. He would know before he even created them what choices they would make. If he didnt know, then he was not really omnipotent after all. Just bad fundamental logic.

My daughter is 6. She hates to clean her room. I always give her an option – clean your room, get a prize (usually a Blizzard), or don't clean your room and don't get a pick on TV all weekend.



She doesn't watch much TV on weekends. I know she's not going to clean her room. I don't emphatically know, no, but I know like a parent knows my daughter is not going to clean her room. That doesn't stop me from throwing out option A, option B.

And He doesn't create evil beings. He creates life. Life chooses its own path, its own option A, option B. That's actually a big part of Christianity, accepting that your choices are your own and they lead you to where you end up.
