So God is powerless to annihilate the soul?

---

I'll gloss over Waterrock's scientific ineptitude here, quarks are not eternal and can be annihilated in a collision with an anti-quark liberating energy. So they do not have the properties that would justify an analogy with his beliefs about the soul.

However lets assume that Watterock is correct (I never thought I'd say that) and that it is impossible for God to destroy a soul despite the fact that he created them...

Lets think logically about this:

If the all-powerful God created the soul then it seems logical that he can destroy the soul.

If Waterrock is stating that the soul cannot be destroyed, then, logically, God did NOT create the soul.

Now in the beginning there was just God and the void (I assume God created the void first).

If God didn't create the soul the souls must have already been there.

Void is void, void can't be anything, therefore the souls must have been present in God and by this I don't mean inside God or in God's hand, since God is all that was the souls must have literally been a part of God himself (or herself/itself).

Now this makes more sense. God is eternal and a logical limit on God's omnipotence may be that God is incapable of destroying himself (just like a terminator). Souls are part of God and that explains why they themselves are also eternal and incapable of destruction.

So our souls are part of God.

If we have a sinning soul it's because we got a part of God that was sinful. This clearly shows that God is not omnibenevolent and possibly explains why the world is full of such a shitstorm of suffering.

Clearly God also has the right to torture parts of himself for eternity if he feels like it, for him casting all of the muslims, atheists and masturbaters to hell for all eternity is akin to an Opus Dei putting on a hair shirt.

God is probably planning that existance from now until the rapture is a sort of sorting experience, like when you sort out your penny jar before going to the bank. God is sorting out which parts of himself are evil and which are good. Jesus (another bit of God) was sent down to tidy up the search parameters a little, telling people to concentrate on the silver coins and leave the copper till last.

Now I have to say, this makes a hell of a lot more sense than most (all) forms of Christian religion I'm aware of..

Question 1: Have I invented a new faith here or is this a path already trod?

If it is a new faith I would like it to be called the 'Church of the Eternal Bits of God', I will be it's head priest (or 'Head Bit').

There will also be a requirement for a retinue of 50 high priestesses, but I'll go into the details later if I get the nod on the originality of the faith.
