So, let me see if I've got this right:
Your god is a perfect being. He must be because he couldn't possible be worthy of being called god if he (or she) wasn't.
A perfect being cannot have imperfect knowledge.
Perfect knowledge means knowing everything that has happened, is happening now, and will happen in the future.
It thus means knowing who will be born and what the whole of their life will be like, including whether or not they will accept
(a) the existence of god
(b) the sacrifice of god's son for the redemption of their sins
So it's inevitable - given god's perfect knowledge - that millions of humans will be destined for eternal damnation BEFORE the moment of their conception because
(a) they were born in a country where the culture subscribes to the existence of a different (wrong) god
(b) they were born in a country that has a difference (wrong) religion
(c) they were intellectually disabled and could not understand the concept of god
(d) they were died before jesus was born and so never knew they were supposed to accept him as their saviour
(e) they want hard evidence before believing
or any other circumstances beyond their control.
That sounds like a pretty crap system to me.

I'm not even-handed. And while I believe in 'balance' in viewpoints there are enough god-bothering sites out there for the turgid rants of the rabid. Your comment will be posted only if you mind your manners. And perhaps not even then.
