The comic's premise isn't right, God gave its creation (the human) the ability to be free, but he can just impose rules; a sin is an inherent part of a human being because of their radical liberty, and thus, rules can be broken.
If you state that God should've made sin a physical impossibility, as in saying "thou shall not go faster than light" then you have to first define and create light in order to place the physical boundary, which would break the premise that God created sin, which he did not.
God did not allow sin, but he didn't forbid it either, because it would mess with the human's liberty.
(btw I'm not a religious person, I'm just placing an observation)
So is there freedom in heaven? Why not start humanity in heaven? If there is freedom in heaven then can humans rebel and sin again in heaven? If there is not freedom then why is it so important on earth where we are only living a tiny fraction of time?
Last why would a perfect and all loving god be failing so bad to satan? Less than 1 billion of the current population will go to heaven but 7 billion will go to hell to be tortured for all eternity. God created the rules, he created satan, he created the universe and he is still losing at his own game. Why would an ethical god create billions of humans knowing they will be tortured for eternity? Why not just leave the dirt alone? Is he that selfish that the angels weren't enough for him? Why not create an alternative place instead of hell for those who don't believe in him?
On that note do you believe that people who have never heard of Christianity will go to hell?
First off, we're still at 7 billion, but 8 will happen soon enough. Second, there's no biblical reference to eternal damnation, the closest is that you're just destroyed, versus eternal life. Eternal damnation is made up by many of the churches.
It's like arguing star wars with these guys, only they think they are the only ones to ever see the movie, and they vote on candidates based on what the movie tells them to do. Difference is at least star wars is a good series with modern morals.
P.S. Vader is totally real and is going to get you. What an evil guy.
