How do you reconcile the idea of a good God worthy of worship with the God who created a bunch of sentient people just to torture them for eternity.
An all-powerful deity can create any universe they want. An all-knowing deity knows exactly how it will all turn out. Then this deity creates a bunch of people they know will misbehave and then punish them for that misbehavior with eternal torment.
To me this sounds an awful lot like leaving a kid in a room with candy, telling them “don’t eat this, it’s bad for you”, then beating them senseless when they eat it anyway.
