It takes Raid quite a while to kill a water bug, it lays on its back flailing around for a long time. I don't know how long, because I can't stand to see even a water bug "suffer" so I squish it after the Raid has immobilized it.

Okay, then if I were able to make myself the size of a bug, then that would be an excruciating way to suffer and die.

You get the general idea. Anything you specify can't be more than a slight inconvenience for an omnipotent divine being.

No, I don't get the general idea at all. I fail to see how any of it is a "slight inconvenience," considering that God willfully chooses to remember the pain and suffering He endured, out of His love for humanity. Which makes Him capable of forgiveness for our disobedience of Him. The sacrifice in itself doesn't have to be eternal: but the effects of the sacrifice ARE eternal. That is the point. Also, we now do not have to suffer that pain and agony because He did it for us.

I don't remember that bit in the Bible, but we'll say you're right. Again, how is even that amount of suffering anything to the all-powerful, infinite creator of the universe?
