gollark: (this is a different argument to "does said god actually exist" obviously, but the evidence there seems to be bad too)
gollark: I don't think they should be all-judging, and I don't think eternal torture is right ever.
gollark: The Islamic god is claimed to be omnipotent, I think. Thus, they know *in advance* if someone is going to go to hell or not when they're created or whatever.

gollark: I consider eternal torture unethical *anyway*, but given the situation with god it's even worse.
