    Challenges→It is not possible even for God to love every person uniformly to the same degree.

    Key Terms

    Incompatible interests(as used in logic and ethics)
    Desires or goals that cannot be satisfied at the same time because they conflict with each other.
    Kantian
    "Kantian" refers to the ideas of Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century German philosopher who fundamentally changed how we think about knowledge and morality. Kant argued that our minds actively shape what we experience in the world (rather than passively receiving information) and that we have a universal moral duty to act according to principles we'd want everyone to follow. His influence is so widespread that "Kantian" is used today to describe any approach to ethics or thinking that emphasizes reason, universal principles, and treating people as ends in themselves rather than as means to an end.
    Omniscient(describing God's knowledge)
    Knowing everything—all facts, all truths, and all events (past, present, and future).
    Rational
    # Rational A rational person is someone who makes decisions based on logic and evidence rather than emotions or hunches. Rational thinking means carefully considering the facts, weighing pros and cons, and coming to conclusions that make sense. It's the opposite of acting impulsively or based on feelings alone.
