This said, if that were true then everyone is innocent because God foreknew their action. This is preposterous, it implies the maker of anything misused is guilty of the crime, like what Colorado is trying to pass as a gun law. They want to make the manufacture of guns responsible for the crime committed with their gun, that's insanity of the greatest kind.
That -was- her defense, she had no choice. How did you miss those closing comments from the defense in the link? I was sure you'd blow a load all over your pc reading them.
Everyone -would be- innocent if intent and free will were requirements for a charge - and they had none.
Omniscience implies foreknowledge, and human beings with foreknowledge of a crime (who fail to take action to prevent it)can be charged in connection to that crime. If you know someone is going to murder your neighbor, you know who, the time, and how - and you don't call the cops....you'd best hope they don't find that out. It's that simple. It's not preposterous, it's very easy to understand.
The colorado gun law sounds hilarious - but what does that have to do with your god?
