Omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, AND omnibenevolence
All of them seem far fetched, it's like attributing the Color red a to a non-existing apple. One cannot, the argument says, speak meaningfully of the non-existent apple that one is holding, saying that it is red, crisp, weighs a certain amount, is in one's right hand, and does not exist at the same time.

Before God healed me of the really, really severe abuse I had earlier in my life, the attribute of God that seemed to me to be the most far fetched was His love. At that time in my life, I believed in God, but I didn't trust Him, and I thought of Him as the Great Abuser in the Sky. What helped me get past that was doing the Al-Anon and the White Bison second step with my Al-Anon sponsor. God works through more than one path.

That he would condemn to hell the millions of Indians, Eskimos, Asians and Africans, etc. who believe in many Gods.
It seems far-fetched to me that an innocent Eskimo or Indian or Native American child would be condemned because he/she believed what their culture taught them, i.e., that there are many Gods and spirits about.

The best attribute of God is that He cannot lie. In His Word it says :
" The fool hath said in his heart there is no God." It also says that one day " ---- every tongue shall confess that He is Lord." That means that some day, YOU & I will kneel before God and confess He is Lord.

That he would allow his son, to be murdered for me. That he could sit and watch the beatings the scourging the nailing to the cross all for me. I could never allow any of my children to be hurt for someone else.

That he chooses if you go to heaven or hell. BAH. Why continue to believe such ancient beliefs if the same people who wrote them thought the earth was flat, and that disease was caused by sin?

That he would sacrifice his son for the sins of mankind. This is difficult for the human mind to understand without faith. What is faith? That quality given to man by God that enables his heart to see things that human reason cannot see.
