How do you know that?
Quote:God knew we would fall which is why He prepared a Savior before hand. You are indicting Him for doing nothing to stop it, but I think you're not acknowledging that God is offering everyone a choice. Just because God knows what you will choose doesn't mean you don't have a real choice. If I know you prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate, and I offer you both, when you choose vanilla did you not have a real choice? I think what you would prefer is that God would not create a scenario where anything can go wrong, but in that case He would just be creating robots. God created real people with real choices, and He provided a Savior so that anyone who made the wrong choice could be redeemed. That is perfect, and just in my opinion.
So...God knew we would "fall", and He knew that the only the thing, THE ONLY THING, that would appease His "anger", the only way to "provide a savior", would be a human sacrifice to Him. But not just any human sacrifice would do - it had to be His "only begotten son" that would satisfy his blood lust.
You "used to be an atheist", and this is what you now believe? Again, I can only exclaim: BULLSHIT!
