    there might be a loving god, but not an all powerful loving one. an all powerful and loving one would make everything perfect without any negative repercussions like the impedance of free will for example.

    If there were no problems, human choice/freedom would be meaningless.

    So you really think you could be happy without any freedom?

    Freedom and that kind of authoritarian control are mutually exclusive.

    not if there were an all capable god to stop that from being so.
    an all capable god could do ANYTHING.
    even the impossible.

    There's no reason to believe that a God could or would do the logically impossible, like create a square circle. Not merely impossible by our standards, but a logical impossibility by definition.

    A God is omnipotent, as a defining feature of being a God. As such, being non-omnipotent is impossible, as it would contradict its own existence.
    And if you think the logically impossible should somehow be possible, you've got bigger problems than your obviously lack of knowledge of the long history of debate about omnipotence.

    there is no need to get emotional, I don't think that the logically impossible SHOULD be possible, just that it has to be in order for your god to be all powerful.

    Then your criteria for a God is logically inconsistent.

    Well at least your not alone in this world of shittyness. I'm enjoying myself but seeing others suffer makes me wonder... what is the point? Have you tried improving your standard of living?

    No, I already told you that omnipotence does not include the ability to do the logically impossible. If you want to lie about it, that's on you.
