I mean, I could also say that about your hair color. We know within reasonable doubt what the nature of God is.

Replace "Hell" with "Heaven" and the argument remains the same. He didn't [i]have[/i] to create anything, but I suspect that he'd be more inclined to destroy a corrupted creation than to give it prosperity, like in the program analogy.

If this is Hell, I'm not complaining; it's pretty cool. But my point is that conjecture like "What if God is tricking us" is similar to "What if I'm in a coma and my life is false?" It's technically a logical possibility but it isn't exactly a fruitful discussion to have.
