Then what's the point of the test, a.k.a. life? Isn't the whole point of existence to make a choice to be with or without god? If god knows how everyone will turn out, what's the point of the whole charade?

God, who knows the answer, isn't making the choice nomore, you, who don't know, are.

God says killing innocents is murder. God killed innocents. Fact fact fact based on your texts, all three. It looks like rather you are dissatisfied with my conclusion that your god committed murder.
Dissatisfied sums it up, yeah. Can you not see how you cherry picked two unrelated sentences and forced them together to prove your point? The logic is clear... God has the capacity to know and judge fairly where you do not. Given the whole concept of fallibility as accepted by Christians and Jews, your idea that children are innocents is unfounded and unbiblical. Simple as that.

Of course you're also going to have to have a pow wow with all your free will brothers in christ on this one - I need to know which ones of you are the nutters.
Are you overlooking the possibility that all of them might be?

Nah, I just enjoy a good show of finger pointing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But that only brings up my original objection. If the point is to choose god or not god, and god knows the choice you will make, why is it necessary to actually go through it? The actual decision making seems superfluous.

Maybe God doesn't have cable.

People you've derailed this thread. If you wanted to debate the post I made, debate it in the actual thread I took it from. This one is supposed to be about singular shameful posts.

Must say, I wonder why a theist/Xian/whatever would want to frequent this site at all. OK, I've watched the 700 Club for laughs, but I'm not a member, it was late and I was drunk.
But a member of an oppressive majority lamenting their lack of venue to ridicule the minority?
