Can't you see how beautiful His creation?
How can you see the beauty without seeing the ugly too?
Did your all-loving god create HIV, cancer, smallpox, floods, drought, malaria, flesh-eating bacteria, leukemia, and poisonous snakes (to name a few)?
A reasonably powerful enemy did this.
So... you're saying... it went more like this?

It went like this:
All power is God's.
God gave power and freedom to some angels, for His and their joy and glory.
Satan, one of the angels, was given great authority for caring for people.
Satan, in his freedom, turned evil and went against God and man.
Man was tricked by Satan into becoming evil.
God prepared a plan to root evil out of everything.
This plan included:
- New Heavens and New Earth;
- Destruction for the Old (this one);
- The right to freely be destroyed with the Old or join Him in the New.
Satan and many of the angels decided to buck God's plan, have lost in their bucking effort, and will be destroyed with the old.
The offering still stands for mankind.
The interesting thing is that Satan and his demons are now locked in to their position. They asked for it this way, and God gave it to them.
Most living people who do not understand God are not locked in to their future position. Those who are saved virtually are locked in to the New. A few of the knowledgeable unsaved are locked in to the Old and destruction. How about you? Are you so completely adamant in your direction against God that you can never be changed? Or is there still some slight hope for you.
Change, before you are locked into your way of destruction along with this Old Universe.
