Re: Re: Re: RE:Why doesnt God just destroy the Universe and start from scratch?
Yes... it makes sense to just suddenly say one day "I think this is the day I will destroy the final evil and scoop up the good guys. Yep, no reason I think I could have done this earlier. The important thing is I am doing it now."
And so essentially in your version... what, God is going to separate himself from the material existence of the universe? He'll down Satan, take his gang to heaven, and leave behind... who? The people who don't belong to either camp?
Maybe because telling a lie or spilling some milk isn't a capital offence? But there are plenty of people who believe we all deserved to be damned, even if we have never committed a serious crime. Or any crime at all. Because God is a stickler for the details, and apparently would damn people for just not believing in him.
