I have a couple of other questions to add to this:
Is there anything that Christ's atonement can't cover? Can it make up for the fact that someone didn't get baptized? Can it forgive someone for not being married in the temple? If the atonement has limitations is it truly infinite?
Why is Satan so powerful? Shouldn't we be more powerful than him since we were obedient to God and received bodies?

This is a great one - I don't think you'll ever get much in the way of a response, but it's a great question to ask.

I ponder a similar one all the time when we're on car drives. "Why are so many things named after the devil? Devil's lake, Devil's gap, Devil's punchbowl, Devil's gate, Devil's Den...He certainly gets a lot of recognition. Why doesn't Jesus get that kind of recognition?" Husband's response: "I don't know, but he was my checker at Safeway last night."

We were just on a trip to S. Utah last weekend and joked about all the cool geologic formations that get the name Devil tagged on them. And now even the word Mormon is now the Devil winning...so much silliness that even Santa laughs about it!
