Quote by: Gods_Mercenary Most suffering is caused by humans, God loves us too much to violate our free choice, so He allows it to happen. God knows that the sufferers will be repaid beyond their dreams and the perpetrators will be made to suffer. |
Doesn't rebut the argument (as per "most").
And I find it somewhat disturbing that you think its OK to let people suffer as long as you make them happy later, to say nothing of the viciousness of condemnation to eternal suffering.

Quote by: Gods_Mercenary The suffering caused by nature is harder to dismiss. Possibly God has some higher plan that could, in the end, prevent more suffering. I don't know, and niether does any theologian I know of. |
Translation: I have no response to this, so I'm just going to ignore it and say "Nice try".

Quote by: Gods_Mercenary I don't think that one has to believe in God to be saved |
What happened to the whole "Accept that Jesus died on the cross to repent for your sins and be saved" thing?

Quote by: Gods_Mercenary Imagine if God sent Stalin to the same place as Mother Theresa, that's not a god of justice or comapassion. |
Oh, the compassion of eternal suffering...
[quote=Gods_MercenaryFor God to be a god of Justice, Hell needs to exist, the bad must be punished, and the good must be rewarded.[/QUOTE]
Which is, of course, totally incompatible with supposed omnibenevolence.
