You'd think god would have told him sooner rather than wasting everyone's time. But more to the point, Edward Cruz is on record as saying "god wants him to be president", but he's out of the race too now. Can god not make its mind up?
It's clear go needs our help because otherwise Cruz would be president without an election. God would have found a away to give Cruz, the person it supposedly wanted be president, without an election. It's clear god incompetent because Cruz now has no chance to be president of the United States.
If I were a theist I wouldn't really see this as much of a problem. As a finite creature, I cannot be expect to know what grandiose purposes an infinite being would have for all of creation. And still, I might expect that there be times when I have a duty or conviction to act though the outcome of my action doesn't result in the end that I myself would have intended.
