While I'm more than willing to get into a theological debate about YHVH's supposed personality traits, I'm not sure you have a similar interest. (That's your opportunity to nod out gracefully and say "nah, I was just throwing in a few comments; wasn't actually looking for a real debate at this time.")

My perspective on "the last judgment," when I don't think of it as an exercise in speculative fiction, is that it's the sign of an oversized temper-tantrum: a creator is unhappy with the results of his own work, so he destroys it rather than fixing it, causing a great deal of pain to everyone involved.

That is, if one accepts the triple-omni situation as background. If he's not omnipotent, it doesn't apply. Of course, if he's not omnipotent, several of the other arguments fall apart.
