If God was forgiving and benevolent, I doubt he would create a realm dedicated to torturing souls for all eternity.
And if God is so powerful, why hasn't he destroyed tbese pesky demons? Isn't it contradictory to claim there is one all powerful God while also believing in other entities that can override God's will and lure humans away from his grace?
Part of why the Amarr faith never applead to me is because there are more plotholes than your average B Holomovie.
Watch Fred Fred Frederation and stop cryptozoologist! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it! |

Even the Scriptures can only be taken metaphorically since they are written by men, and so hold men values and observations on an entity that goes beyond them.
In other words, there is nothing holy or spiritual about them. By this logic, the scriptures are nothing more than a story and anyone who believes them to be fact is no better than your overzealous science fiction or fantasy geek.

God could destroy the Demons with a mere wave of His divine arm, or a mere thought of the same. The Demons exist because God wills they exist. When the righteous man triumphs over the Demons, it gives glory to God. When the Wicked man is tormented by the Demons in the Pit, it gives glory to God. When someday God has had enough of the Demons and destroys them, their destruction will give glory to God.
If their destruction will give Glory to God and apparently God can do this with a mere thought, then why doesn't he do it?
Clearly, your God is either incredibly weak or incredibly lazy. Either one may explain why the Minmatar managed to break free.
