Omnipotent God creates things that he knows are evil, though he's omnibenevolent.  There's the whole Problem of Evil in there.

<snip stuff connecting Comte with Adam, IC with Heaven, etc>
It hurts my head to try to combine the two systems of Christianity and UA.  I don't think it works very well however you try.

It does make for interesting things for a semi-clued in NPC, who's heard of the IC and the Comte, but doesn't understand what's going on.
