>> Without suffering, there would be no compassion.
Yeah but without suffering, there would also be no suffering. Let us suppose that the aim of compassion is to reduce suffering. Surely any compassionate being would want to live in a World without suffering. Is there compassion in Heaven? You utter weiner.
Consider this:
(a) God made all things
(b) Hell is a thing
(c) Therefore God made Hell
(d) If He hadn't made Hell, then no-one would have to go to Hell.
So why did He make Hell? Before you answer, consider this:
(a) God is perfect
(b) God has free will
(c) Therefore it is possible to be perfect AND still have free will
(d) So God could have made us all perfect beings with free will
(e) Then there would be no suffering
(f) But He did not do this
(g) Why?
(h) IT CANNOT BE BECAUSE HE WANTED US TO HAVE FREE WILL
